Accessing the Arts (ATA) is a Deaf and disability arts research initiative bringing together artists and arts leaders to build knowledge around design thinking in our communities and center difference in the design and development of accessible solutions in the arts.
All of our ongoing research and projects are shaped and informed by the vital work and ideas of our partners at Re•Vision: Centre for Art and Social Justice, Bodies in Translation: Activist Arts, Technology and Access to Life, the School of Disability Studies at Ryerson University, Tangled Art + Disability, and Deaf, Mad and disabled artists and community members all across the globe.
