Join Terri Lynne Hudson, theatre and multi-disciplinary artist, for an interactive talk about her process for the new work, all my pretty fictions. Hudson’s practice explores the generative potential of access conflicts, which are situations in which one's access needs clash with another’s. Rather than presenting insurmountable barriers, these access conflicts can inspire artistry.

Two black circles have the Date and Time, with a third circle containing a headshot of Hudson, a Black woman with shoulder length hair and a blue shirt, looking intently at the camera.

Access info: We will have CART and ASL on Zoom. Please contact dcc@uic.edu with any access requests or questions!
Access info (for the watch party): The DCC is located on the 2nd floor and is accessible by elevator. We use fragrance free cleaning supplies in our space but UIC is not a fragrance free campus. Please skip the scents to help us make this a fragrance reduced environment.
Covid safety info (for watch party): UIC does not require masking, but we are still masking in our spaces as an accessibility measure for chronically ill / immunocompromised folks and those living interdependently with them. Please wear a mask!
