Representational Conundrums: The Generative Potential of Access Conflict

Join Terri Lynne Hudson, theater and multidisciplinary artist, for an interactive talk about her process for the new work, “all my pretty fictions.” Hudson’s practice explores the generative potential of access conflicts, which are situations in which one person’s access needs clash with another’s. Rather than presenting insurmountable barriers, these access conflicts can inspire artistry.

The talk is online, through Zoom. There also will be a simultaneous in-person watch party at the Disability Cultural Center, Room 235 at the Behavioral Sciences Building.

Register for the Zoom event.
