London
where the assumption that human culture is primarily visual is challenged until
it dissolves, along with the entwined racism, patriarchy, misogyny, homophobic
bullshit, other limiting beliefs and destructive economic systems …where the
assumption that VR is a predominantly visual medium, not “for” or “by” visually
impaired participants, is kicked to the kerb. Help us course correct the
development of this critical mode in which our future selves will live, work,
love, play. …where accessibility techniques such as audio description extend
deep into the richer reaches of art forms and cultural identities …. where audio
describers are not afraid to describe the weird and the wonderful, and who have
the cultural insight to respectfully describe any human being …where creation
tools, arts education and access are provided to ensure equal access for all
those who are otherwise excluded or disadvantaged by a disability …where Burning
Man art, culture, and event information is accessible to visually impaired
participants. … where visually impaired participants can navigate physical and
digital Burning Man experiences independently or with easy, on-demand
assistance. … where visually impaired participants and other excluded Burners
are able to make the same independent choices as sighted participants. …where
those who are blind and deaf are not forgotten, and are embraced as creators too
… where all this is considered foundational to Burning Man culture. In short, a
world built for all of us. It is something we see, and with your help will make
real.
