Access Media is a series delivered in partnership between the Disability Participation News Hub and Disabled Women Ireland, supported by Coimisiún na Meán.
Join us for our next Access Media session facilitated by Sinéad Burke and speakers including Eleanor McSherry, Alannah Uí Gheargáin and Karen Scully, where we explore the stories being told, how they're being told, and who is telling them. Date: 13th October Time: 7pm Venue: Via Zoom
From the characters we see on screen to the people making decisions behind it, representation in film, television and broadcast media shapes how disability is understood and how disabled people see themselves reflected in culture.
Happy Irish Sign Language Awareness Week / International Week of Deaf People! This year's theme is Declaring Deaf People's Human Rights.
