In a conversational exploration of accessibility with my friend Craig Slee, the following concept arose. What if we turned the idea of an accessible website on its head and created a website that was inaccessible to humans who identify as 'normal'. In response - the private online community was formed where only those who identify as crip, disabled, Ddeaf, chronic illness or neurodiverse are invited. The concept then widened - to include anyone with an interest in the themes, as we are all woven and threaded through with impairment, disability and all need each other.
It seems to me, that it is an impossibility to create anything that everyone, would want to or be able to or have an interest in participating in. There is so much diversity amongst humans & so much diversity within the cohort of those who identify with crip, disabled, Ddeaf, chronically ill or neurodiverse. This website may well be inaccessible by virtue of aesthetic, by interest, by a willingness or desire to participate in convoluted philosophically obtuse dialogues & that's okay. We are not all the same. The hope is that this website will be accessible to those who have an interest in grappling with the incomprehensible & that the multiple formats it is presented in will broaden the accessibility. On the home page you will find an audio version of the core spoken word piece & a video version - I have placed them above for ease of access as well as a pdf of all the words.
At the core of accessibility for me, is open dialogues, being willing & able to articulate my needs & contexts of care where others are willing to adjust in order to understand the need & a willingness to respond to those needs - to change course in relation to constantly fluxing needs.
If there is something I can do to make this site more accessible for you - reach out and I will do my best to assist. I am keen to learn & happy to adjust. It may sometimes take time & it may sometimes be beyond my capacity. If so I will be honest with you. The invitation to the online community on the home page and HERE, will act as an infrastructure for multi modal dialogue and will engage the hive mind in coming up with creative responses to accessibility issues as well as the more philosophical foundations.
If you have an interest in participating in multi modal conversations, in creating connections, grappling with ideas - please feel free to send me the EOI or email me to arrange a conversation.
