In this last episode of Season 2 of SPEAK, Rachel and Fin invite guests to talk about the role of H’Art/BEING Studio in Ontario over the past 20 years. They talk to professor Michael Orsini (University of Ottawa) about the changes in disability rights since the beginning of BEING. Professor Eliza Chandler (Ryerson University) also talks about the importance of having access to a disability arts archive. You will also hear the voice of Bucko, whom you might recognize as one of the musicians that partnered with SPEAK this season. Bucko and Fin talk about what “disability arts” mean to them and how making art as a disabled person is very complex. Music for this episode by King Kimbit
