How can we can we ensure our access needs are met when working with organisations?
An access doc, or access ‘rider’ is a document that outlines your disability access needs. You might make one so that you can give it to galleries/institutions/organisations when you start working with them on a project – such as a gallery you’re doing a show at for example, to let them know what you need them to facilitate to make sure you have equal access to work.
In this free workshop led by writer Alice Hattrick, learn how to put together an access document of your own.
This workshop is free to attend and open to all but booking is necessary, as spaces are limited. For this online session, we will be using video calling platform Zoom. It is possible to take part with or without setting up an account, and we will send instructions for joining ahead of the day. This will be a two-hour session with a break included. We have closed captions integrated on Zoom. If you have any access needs that you would like to discuss with us in advance of the session, please get in touch: holly@turf-projects.com
