Asynchronous Digital Events

Calling Up Justice produces events that take place across space and time. Asynchronous digital event planning has become an increasingly popular method for organizations to engage with their audience and stakeholders, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. We produce them to be in alignment with our accessible values and crip time. Asynchronous digital events refer to events that are pre-recorded or pre-produced and can be accessed at any time by the attendees, unlike live events that require attendees to be present at a specific time.

Disillusionment

Disillusionment, while unsettling at first, can catalyze positive transformations as it unveils the intricate layers of supremacy culture’s impact. This emotion becomes a vital awakening, shedding light on concealed biases and oppressive norms shaping societal paradigms. Understanding how supremacy culture hinders genuine connections and equitable opportunities fuels a journey of enlightenment and change. This awareness drives a reevaluation of values, fostering a commitment to dismantling harmful structures and nurturing a more inclusive world. Embracing disillusionment empowers individuals to challenge assumptions, broaden perspectives, and actively contribute to eradicating supremacy culture’s influence. Join the movement to leverage disillusionment for meaningful progress.

Clear Masks are Awesome

As an access doula, I had the opportunity to work closely with the Criptech + Gray Area Metaverse collaboration and provide my expertise in access design. One of the accessibility measures that we implemented was the use of clear masks from BendShape Barrier™, which were recommended by Lindsey Dolich Felt, the Leonardo Disability, Access and Impact Lead.

Liberated EDI let’s talk about Wokeness

Awesome conversation about Woke in the Liberated Equity Diversity Inclusion Clubhouse Room. Really appreciated reviewing the history of the term, how it’s being used today and ideas about healing for justice producers. First used in the 1940s, the term “woke” has resurfaced in recent years as a concept that symbolises awareness of social issues and movement against injustice, inequality, and prejudice. James Baldwin said To be a Negro in this country and to be relatively conscious is to be in a rage almost all the time. Supremacy Culture wants you to be in denial. It pathologizes the word “woke” so that you’ll stop thinking. Not talking about racism is not the same as being anti-racist. To be in denial of supremacy culture is to be in support of it. Everyday we do not dismantle supremacy culture we increase its power. It’s killing us. Get woke. Stay woke.

Agents of Supremacy Culture

You will encounter a variety of different types of Agents of Supremacy Culture. Some of them will stalk you online and say things like being woke is a bad thing. They need us to be in denial of our own oppression. There are also people who make money spreading things like disinformation, misinformation, and other types of propaganda like Tucker Carlson. Sometimes, we might discover we have been acting as an unwitting agent of supremacy culture by treating ourselves badly due to our own internalized biases.Resist getting recruited into Supremacy Culture by society and yourself!

The CripTech Metaverse Lab

VR, AR and spatial audio present significant access frictions and barriers for disabled users and creators. The CripTech Metaverse Lab, a collaboration between Leonardo CripTech Incubator and Gray Area, will gather ten disabled creatives to collectively experience immersive artworks, generate participatory aesthetic access, and create new speculative artworks culminating in Gray Area Festival 2023. The lab will imagine new creative pathways for experiencing metaverse artworks amongst participants and future audiences. The findings from this research lab will be shared via the publication of a white paper in Leonardo journal, an online research archive, and culminate in a series of talks, performances, and an exhibition for the 2023 Gray Area Festival this Fall.
