Constantina Zavitsanos and Carolyn Lazard in Conversation

Constantina Zavitsanos and Carolyn Lazard in Conversation

Carolyn Lazard and Constantina Zavitsanos are artists and friends. Join them in this session discussing creative collaboration through the lens of disability justice in the context of radical care. Their conversation will present and explore some of their creative work and the inspirations they take from each other’s creative practices, thinking about “the elements both material and immaterial that bring people in closer proximity to each other”  and some of the conflicts & solidarities this can produce. If we approach “care as an event” rather than as a “contract of exchange”  then what becomes possible in how we know, care for, and appreciate each other?

Audio Description

Audio Description is when visual information is described by someone speaking. Sometimes this is provided by a specialist audio describer and sometimes speakers will self-describe for the benefit of anyone unable to see them. Each event may have a slightly different version of Audio Description: For some events, an audio describer will be assigned to a person who cannot see the event, and will provide 1-1 audio description for them. Sometimes this might be done via a head-set during in person events, or via a separate audio channel during online events. Other times, audio describers will verbally communicate to everyone attending.   more
