People with disabilities are often helped individually and on an occasional basis to increase their radius of action. In this lecture, Singer-songwriter Mira Thompson argues, following the findings from the US Disability Justice movement, to see disability as a shared responsibility so that everyone can have equal and unhindered access to society. Arts and culture can take the lead in this.

Because of the inaccessibility of the Ghent city centre and Belgian public transport, it is difficult for Mira to move around Ghent. Therefore, in the context of accessibility, this lecture is digital. After the lecture, there will be an opportunity to ask questions.

Mira Thompson is a singer, writer, artist and teacher and works with several Dutch art institutions on access and crip theory in the arts.
