<p>Spill the Tea is a series that aims to bridge the gap between emerging artists and established professionals. We bring together three guest speakers from a variety of different stages of their practice to hold a casual conversation to share advice and experiences. By having an opportunity for everyone (including you!) to share stories, questions, and lessons learned, this series hopes to inspire and empower each participant!</p>

<p>In this workshop, artist <strong style="box-sizing:border-box;">Kendra Yee</strong> will go over important considerations and common questions for packaging and shipping artwork as she has learned from her own professional practice.</p>

Our goal is to challenge audience expectations of what it means to be Disabled, to be an ‘artist,’ and to bring marginalized identities into a gallery space.    &nbsp;</span></p><p style="background-color:#ffffff;line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;" dir="ltr"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">  &nbsp;</span></p><p style="background-color:#ffffff;line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;" dir="ltr"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">COVID-19 has been a shock and a challenge to all. But to disabled folks, the pandemic and its aftermath have activated waves of burnout, executive dysfunction, fatigue, chronic pain, and much more. Partnering with OCAD’s Disability Community &amp; Culture Group (DCCG), the ODESI Gallery holds a space which invites artists to come as they are. This intimate gallery offers a place of respite, encourages audiences to let go of expectations, welcomes non-conforming bodies, and recognizes others’ lived experiences.  &nbsp;</span></p><p style="background-color:#ffffff;line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;" dir="ltr"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">  &nbsp;</span></p><p style="background-color:#ffffff;line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;" dir="ltr"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">We want to honour ‘Disabled’ methods of working by being inclusive and by understanding how time constraints, the pandemic, and various other factors may have an impact on the access needs of Disabled members. Therefore, rather than continuing the harm of asking Disabled bodies and minds to be restricted to the confines of traditional gallery standards, we are building a space that represents a continuum of multiple Disabled bodies and minds. &nbsp;</span></p><p style="background-color:#ffffff;line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;" dir="ltr"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">&nbsp;</span></p>
