This project was bigger than I knew.
I've been compiling information, and struggling with finding the time to upload it. It seems like any time I sit down to write in this blog, I remember that I have some other homework to do, some other project to work on.
My residency has been extended until April 15th. I think it's fitting given the fact I'm researching accessibility in the arts. It's something I will always have trouble accepting but, I do need more time than most, to get to the same point. I need assistance, I need understanding, I need support. I'm lucky, that the reading room has been really accommodating and has let me take a bit more time.
So while I was researching disabled people in the arts, art centered around disability, accessible ways to record research and put the information out there, I realized that... I have to put my own info out there in an accessible way as well. So I started researching people that have put out zines and art in different ways.
Content Warning: Child Sexual Abuse: This is a zine that was turned into a video for people that have issues reading.
Resonance Audio Distro has an awesome collection of audio zines
This zine was made by visually impaired teens.
Sarah Tea Rex has put all of their zines in pdf format on this site, and the get a grip zine is also available in braille.
An article about Roy Nachums braille paintings for the blind.
A free braille converter for 3d printing.
3D printed braille and picture books for blind children.
A free braille slate file to 3D print.
Ivona is a text to speech site that lets you pick voices in any language, including French Canadian.
More info on the way!
