About This Episode

Is providing Auslan, captioning and audio describing online really enough? Does the COVID-19 inspired pivot towards online platforms enable presenters to remain connected to audiences and find new ones, or does it reinforce the digital divide reinforcing barriers experiencing by Deaf and disabled artists, arts workers and audiences?

Join Martin Sawtell and Jody Holdback from Access2Arts who will investigate the liberation and new challenges experienced by Deaf and disabled patrons as the shift to arts online takes place, during and post COVID-19. Gain some insights into best practice for your web content, some tips and ‘easy wins’ for making your online gatherings more accessible.
