SUMMARY:Beneath The Surface: Illuminating Visible & Invisible Disabilities
DESCRIPTION:A 10th annual Cracks in the Concrete conference as we explore the theme “Beneath the Surface: Illuminating Visible & Invisible Disabilities.” This milestone gathering will focus on amplifying the voices and experiences of individuals living with visible and invisible disabilities\, particularly people of colour who are often left out of disability discourse. Together\, we aim to foster a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by those living with disabilities that are not immediately visible\, while building bridges of empathy\, compassion\, and respect. \nOver this transformative weekend\, we’ll challenge societal perceptions that are shaped by first appearances and examine how our personal biases and programming impact interactions. Through a rich lineup of workshops\, discussions\, and artistic performances\, we will explore disability and identity\, emphasizing how we are more alike than we are different. \nFeatured sessions will delve into topics such as the invisibility of autism\, dyslexia\, vision loss\, poor hearing\, and speech challenges\, while also addressing the unique barriers faced by people of colour living with visible disabilities. \nThis year’s conference is more than a conversation—it’s a call to action to see beyond the surface and embrace difference. \nCRACKS IN THE CONCRETE CONFERENCE\nDATES:\nMarch 21 – 23\, 2025 \nLOCATION:\nVictoria City Hall \nCOST:\nFree general admission\, or by donation \n$10 – 15 for Able: An Immersive Art Experience  \n$5 for Chinatown History Walking Tour \nREGISTER:\nRegister for the conference here. \nDONATE:\nAll panels are free.
