Be Heard: Art, Advocacy, and Access

Event Hub

Location

The Artesian

2627 13th Avenue

Regina, SK

This hub is all about art, advocating for yourself, and access. Each event is designed to help you develop your voice, whether for personal growth or community advocacy. We welcome everyone into these safe spaces, moving with care and at the speed of trust.

The “Be Heard: Somatics, Voice, and Self-Advocacy Workshop” with Traci Foster will guide participants in developing their body and voice to express themselves clearly and confidently in everyday life, in self-advocacy, and as creative beings.

The LTD’ Voice Sessions will offer a safe space for individuals to explore their voices through pleasure and play. This includes singing, speaking, yawning, sighing, and other non-verbal expressions that support health and wellbeing. Three sessions will be held during Culture Days, each led by a different artist with expertise in voice development, creative expression, and self-advocacy.

Finally, The Axis of Access: Lunch, Learn & Launch will be an opportunity to gather over lunch as we launch a new, important resource that offers a welcoming entry point for learning about accessibility in Saskatchewan’s arts sector from a disability cultural perspective. This resource includes clear, actionable principles to help artists and arts organizations begin building accessible practices. ASL interpretation will be available.

All events will take place in person at The Artesian in Regina and are free to attend. The venue is wheelchair accessible and has gender-neutral washrooms. Lunch will be provided for The Axis of Access event, with light snacks and refreshments available at all other events.

We hope to see you there!
