The workshop will tackle matters of artistic accessibility, its requirements and conditions. The conceptual fields of ableism and privilege will be discussed in their influences on everyday lives as well as for institutional practices. They are important subjects when it comes to removing barriers and initiating necessary transformational processes.
Noa Winter (no pronouns) is a curator, dramaturge, and accessibility expert who combines anti-ableist practices with empowerment and aesthetics of access.

Starting in the 2024/25 season, Winter works as a dramaturge at Gessnerallee in Zurich.
