“Let’s try thinking of accessibility as a creative, long-term process. It’s not just about the built environment, but about ideas of agency and power. “

Meet our team
Our research at Bodies in Translation is animated by two guiding propositions: that we incite and catalyze generative collaborations among artist and academics across disciplinary, sectorial, cultural, and other divides; and that we centralize culturally, cognitively, affectively, and physically diverse artist practitioners as members of communities whose voices and self-representations have been marginalized from mainstream social discourses, cultural landscapes and art institutions across our province and country.
Embodying these principles of catalyzing collaborations and centralizing non-normative artistic creation, our team consists of two Project Directors, a management committee; a big picture committee; and over 70 partners and collaborators who are researchers, artist-academics, practicing artists, and community leaders.
