$ASL Constructed Identities Promo Constructed Identities by Persimmon Blackbridge At the Canada Council for the Arts’ art space, Âjagemô In Constructed Identities, artist Persimmon Blackbridge uses mixed media wood carving with found objects to question how disability is framed as a fracturing of ordinary life rather than a normal, expected part of it. Her exploration of the figure begins in disability, but necessarily complicates itself as our embodied identities intersect and overlap. Curated by Tangled Art + Disability, the exhibit includes audio description, ASL and LSQ translation and tactile art. The Âjagemô art space is barrier-free and the nearest accessible public transit stop is at Laurier and Elgin. Join us for the opening reception on January 23, 2018 at 5:30 pm. Attendant care, ASL and LSQ interpretation will be provided. https://canadacouncil.ca/about/ajagemo$
