That has Velcro on it and I can put strange objects on it like batteries and book lights and toilet paper rolls and big springs and anything and create faces. Then the body, of course, becomes the character that goes with each face.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left:60px;\">The fun part about the cube is that there are four sides to play with. I love that piece. It&#8217;s also very bittersweet. It still lives. It has had a second incarnation now. And it came out of kind of a deep dark place as an artist. As a visually impaired artist who loves vision and color and movement. And it&#8217;s often approached after a performance, &#8220;Wow, you&#8217;re blind. You&#8217;re visually impaired and you can do that. You have so much sense of color. And wow, that&#8217;s amazing. I&#8217;m going to put you on a pedestal that&#8217;s so high, you&#8217;re going to get a nose bleed.&#8221; And then there&#8217;s the overweight part and people come up and say, &#8220;Whoa, people like you shouldn&#8217;t be able to do that.&#8221; So, I find that when I do pieces like blockhead, or funny things, or character things, it becomes less about blindness or disability, but more about ability and unity and community and togetherness\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left:60px;\">Ron Jones:\u00a0 Yeah, yeah!<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left:60px;\">Maia Scott: It&#8217;s really amazing this San Francisco arts culture that we have.

Grabbing someone to read wall texts to me and first my dad \u00a0[laughter] and then, my poor dad who really can\u2019t draw a straight line. [laughter] He would read the text to me at the museum and then later on my friends. So I think museums are such hostile spaces for blind people in particular and for disabled people and these conversations are really touchy, pardon the pun, I mean maybe not pun intended. There are very touchy topics because the work is property, you know, and it\u2019s been valued in some cases millions and millions of dollars.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left:60px;\">Alice: As a disabled person how should you feel going into a museum? How do you want to feel?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left:60px;\">Jennifer: First of all I don\u2019t want to be harassed by anyone. [laughter] I think \u00a0that&#8217;s \u2026 I would like that to stop right now, forever. And uh, I would like to see more, I know it would be great to have more museum staff who are disabled people themselves I think that would be a huge help and people of color and people from different, people who are from different walks for life who are, because the museum should feel like it\u2019s for everybody and not just for white people or rich, white people. That would make me feel a lot more comfortable in a museum space. I don\u2019t want things behind glass and you know, and wall texts that are large and also audio description available if you could just like the punch of a button and Braille to be available and different languages to be available and uh&#8230;. I would just want it to be more of a community, uh, you know, sort of like a fellowship, I don\u2019t know, like okay; this is my Southern stuff coming in. We used to call the place where we ate dinner after church, the fellowship hall, right? I just want it to be more about fellowship.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left:60px;\">Alice: Describe that. Describe that please.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left:60px;\">Jennifer: Everybody just comes and then you seat down and eat and everybody is welcome and everybody eats and everybody is served. It\u2019s just a time for people to hangout and be a community together. And it\u2019s not like\u2026 It\u2019s like your space, you should feel like it\u2019s your space and not some rich, trustee\u2019s space that you\u2019re just being allowed in you know, \u201cIf you\u2019re really good [laughter] you can stay and if you\u2019re not too boisterous. If you don\u2019t touch anything and if you don\u2019t do this or that!\u201d So it shouldn\u2019t feel like that. It should feel more like a community space.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left:60px;\">Alice: Well, I think that\u2019s a great challenge for \u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left:60px;\">Jennifer: For them [laughter]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left:30px;\"><strong>Questions to the panel:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left:60px;\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">In what ways are spaces such as museums, galleries, performance venues, studios, and rehearsal spaces, hostile to Deaf\/Disabled artists? <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left:60px;\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">How do we demand and create spaces that are accessible and welcoming to all?<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Q&amp;A session<\/b><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Thank You!!<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left:30px;\">ASL Interpreters: Jennifer Mantle and Pilar Marsh<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left:30px;\">CART Captioner: Audrey Spinka<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left:30px;\">Audio\/Visual for the CJM, David Elinoff<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left:30px;\">Access and Community Engagement Manager of the CJM, Cecile Puretz<\/p>\n<h3><b>About: Panelists<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"187869\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/disabilityvisibilityproject.com\/2016\/09\/24\/925-dvp-event-conversation-with-deaf-and-disabled-artists\/image-credit-richard-downing-courtesy-of-sins-invalid\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/disabilityvisibilityproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/image-credit-richard-downing-courtesy-of-sins-invalid.jpg?fit=2000%2C3008&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2000,3008\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4.5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D70&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1213197423&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;48&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0125&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image-credit-richard-downing-courtesy-of-sins-invalid\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/disabilityvisibilityproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/image-credit-richard-downing-courtesy-of-sins-invalid.jpg?fit=681%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-187869\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/disabilityvisibilityproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/image-credit-richard-downing-courtesy-of-sins-invalid.jpg?resize=299%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Image of Patty Berne, a Japanese-Haitian queer disabled woman. \u00a0She has long curly dark hair and is smiling widely and looking to the right of the camera.
