ABLE Voices EP 24: Moira Williams

Dr. Rhoda Bernard, founder and managing director of The Berklee  Institute for Accessible Arts Education is proud to present the ABLE  Voices podcast featuring artists and arts educators with disabilities.    

We are inviting disabled artists and arts educators to be guests and  guest hosts on ABLE Voices. Today's guest host is Megan Bent. Megan is a  lens-based artist interested in the malleability of photography and the  ways image-making can happen beyond using a traditional camera. This  interest started to occur after the diagnosis of a progressive chronic  illness. She is drawn to image-making processes that reflect and embrace  her disabled experience; especially interdependence, impermanence,  care, and slowness.  

For today's episode, Megan will be interviewing Moira Williams. Mora  (they/them), is a disabled Indigenous artist, cross-disability cultural  activist and access doula; co-creating and weaving disability justice  together with crip celebratory resistance and environmental justice.  Moira believes in access as art and “access intimacy” as an attitude  needed to push beyond the limitations of the Americans with Disabilities  Act.   

The ABLE Voices podcast is produced and edited by BIAAE Operations  Coordinator, Daniel Martinez del Campo. The introduction music was  written by Kai Levin and the ending song was written by Sebastian  Batista. Kai and Sebastian are students in the Arts Education Programs  at the Berklee Institute for Accessible Arts Education.
