Deutsche Fassung hier. Scroll down for access info.
On August 10 from 7PM - late, we invite you to celebrate the start of Mixed Feelings 2: Still With Mixed Feelings at 90mil in Berlin.
Mixed Feelings 2, following on from our project Mixed Feelings in 2023, will continue to explore accessibility in the arts. Hosted by Saverio Cantoni, Dana Cermane and SchwarzRund on Refuge Worldwide, the project is produced from the experience and practices of disabled artists worldwide.
With six radio broadcasts in German and English spoken language with transcripts, and International Sign Language with subtitles, mixed feelings challenges hearing supremacy and ableism in radio and events.
A launch event at 90mil on August 10 will celebrate the new series and bring mixed feelings audiences together in person.
mixed feelings believes disability justice means justice for all, and calls for solidarity with Palestinian disabled and d/Deaf communities.
