Anna is the first curator-in-residence in a programme created by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dasharts.org\/\">DASH<\/a>, a visual arts charity in the UK led by disabled people that connects disabled curators to major visual arts organizations. I spoke with Anna last year in the middle of her residency at the <a href=\"https:\/\/macbirmingham.co.uk\/\">Midlands Art Center<\/a> which is located in the city of Birmingham. For folks in the Midlands region of the UK, the exhibit Anna curated, titled, <a href=\"https:\/\/macbirmingham.co.uk\/exhibition\/art-and-social-change-the-disability-arts-movement\">\u201cArt and Social Change: The Disability Arts Movement,\u201d<\/a> is open now until March 22, 2020. In our conversation, Anna is going to demystify what curation is, she\u2019ll also share her experiences of making her access needs known during her residency, and why we need more disabled curators in the arts. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Transcript<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1ExNOW5eKmgVKDQay4x9Hf4iVyY9BYJ1msHrYlbD7auE\/edit?usp=sharing\"><strong>[Google doc]<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/disabilityvisibilityproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Disabled-Curators.pdf\"><strong>[PDF]<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>About<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_464009\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-464009\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"464009\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/disabilityvisibilityproject.com\/2020\/03\/08\/ep-72-disabled-curators\/double-exposure-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/disabilityvisibilityproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/double-exposure-2.jpg?fit=1500%2C997&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1500,997\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"double exposure-2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Black and white double exposure head-shot of Anna Berry, one in which she is looking forward, and one in profile. &lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/disabilityvisibilityproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/double-exposure-2.jpg?fit=1024%2C681&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-464009\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/disabilityvisibilityproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/double-exposure-2.jpg?resize=400%2C266&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Black and white double exposure head-shot of Anna Berry, one in which she is looking forward, and one in profile.\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/disabilityvisibilityproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/double-exposure-2.jpg?resize=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/disabilityvisibilityproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/double-exposure-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C681&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/disabilityvisibilityproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/double-exposure-2.jpg?resize=768%2C510&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/disabilityvisibilityproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/double-exposure-2.jpg?w=1500&amp;ssl=1 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-464009\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Black and white double exposure head-shot of Anna Berry, one in which she is looking forward, and one in profile.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Anna Berry<\/strong> is an artist who creates socially- and politically-conscious work, often large kinetic installation, and working with paper.
