Disability Hacks is a webinar series presented by Intertwine Arts and hosted by Ja’el Batyah and Chiaki O’Brien, that will explore the intersections of disabilities and the textile arts. Our speakers will draw from personal experiences to discuss supports that aid budding weavers with disabilities, as well as highlight the various chronic conditions that people commonly experience within a lifecycle. We will also talk about the creative process, and how it can be built to be accessible from the ground up, to promote everyone’s creativity.

SAORI Artist and studio owner Chiaki O’Brien will present with Ja'el, a weaving artist in the SAORI style and a special guest, to share experiences creating textile art with adults, highlighting the unique aesthetics and creation processes, as well as the adjustments made for the varied disabilities that appear within an adult audience.

Join us for a panel-style discussion exploring the intersections of disability, textiles, and teaching.
