Abilities Centre in collaboration with Durham Region is hosting the second annual Durham Accessibility Conference.

The theme for this year is Power of Inclusion: Moving Accessibility from awareness to action. This free virtual conference features keynote speaker Mark Wafer, and a panel discussion. Attendees will hear about the value that inclusion brings when we practice ability acceptance in the workplace and leave with practical tips on embedding accessibility throughout the employment cycle.

This free conference will support creating and maintaining a diverse and inclusive work environment - a place where each person can feel they belong and benefit from the organization’s collective success.

Real time captioning and American Sign Language interpretation will be available.

Adam Basanta's Every Beloved Object returns to ancient architectural techniques as it looks toward new systems of human consumption. By returning to basic motions of trash collection and architectural assembly, we reflect on our early origins to create new monuments to everyday debris.

Heather Nicol's newest audio work Prelude/Requiem positions itself at both extremes of the human life cycle. Built upon songs for lulling infants to sleep or easing passage into a final resting place, this immersive sound installation uses multichannel audio and light to encourage introspection across oral cultures.
