Claudia Alick: Hi, I'm Claudia Alick, the Executive Producer
and founder of the Calling up Justice practice, a transmedia
social justice practice producing performances of
justice online, on stage, and in real life. We do everything from
producing fun projects like Gaming for Justice on the Twitch
platform to producing full productions that are mixed
abilities, signed interpreted, such as our Elektra, as well as
consulting with organizations all over the country to help
them produce their own events accessibly. And with anti
racism, we produce trainings, and we do incredibly exciting
field development projects like the one we're engaged in with
the CripTech Incubator. I'm so so thrilled to be acting in my
role as a consultant with the CripTech Incubator, working with
the brilliant Vanessa and Lindsey co-designing the
process, helping to curate and find artists to collaborate
with, and really facilitating an entire process that is resulting
in opportunity, accessibility, and disabled justice through the
media arts field, and using technology. So I can't tell you
exactly what these brilliant artists are going to create. I
just know that they've pitched some visionary and exciting
ideas. And I would argue that the most exciting part of the
CripTech Incubator isn't actually the individual artistic
projects and outcomes of the artists. It's the cohort itself,
the cross-pollination that will take place with the cohort, the
growth that will take place in each of these residencies, and
the larger national and international conversation that
will be sparked by the work they're engaged in. This is very
exciting work.
