Abstract

On November 28, 2019, a group of sixty or so people gathered in a sunny room at the University of Regina for the Disability Artivism in the Flyover Provinces symposium. The purpose of the event was to gather artists, students, and community members and arts organization representatives for collaborative reflection on the state of disability, deaf, and mad arts in the prairie provinces.
