Students who are d/Deaf, Disabled or living with disability are invited for the first stage of co-creating Metropolis.
That's right, Rachel Shuggs participatory artwork Metropolis begins with you.
Come together, meet each other and make your mark. We will suit-up ourselves and our assistive devices in protective gear. Then use paint to explore movement and trace our experience. There will also be a social space for students to hang out at.
P.S Don’t worry! We’ll get in touch first week of June with more info. No spoons necessary🥄
Metropolis is a part of We Belong – Beyond accessibility art project, amplifying the lived experience of students who are d/Deaf, Disabled and living with disability. It highlights stories and ideas that relate to students and their experiences of identity, visibility, allyship and belonging within RMIT University.
*We acknowledge people may prefer person-first or identity-first language and support individuals right to use language that best reflects their identity.
After this first stage, the whole RMIT community will be invited to take part in stage two during Semester 2 Orientation.
