Creating Safer Arts Spaces: Considerations for Immunocompromised Audiences and Arts Workers
In this episode, Kalyce Carter (Accessibility Coordinator, Xenia Concerts) has the privilege of sitting down with the ever-brilliant Amina to explore what accessibility can look like for immunocompromised audiences, artists, and arts workers.
Together, they discuss the many ways we can reimagine safer arts spaces, the impact of spaces that fail to consider the realities of immunocompromised communities, and what it means to create environments where people can genuinely feel supported, welcomed, and safe. They also explore how accessibility is a collective responsibility and reflect on ways all of us can continue building spaces that are more accessible for those who face additional barriers to safety and participation.
Their conversation is thoughtful, honest, and grounded in care. It invites listeners to imagine a future where safer spaces are not treated as an exception, but as an essential part of creating accessible arts communities for everyone.
Thank you, Amina, for sharing your wisdom, brilliance, and lived experience with the Xenia community.
At Xenia Concerts, we believe in making conversations accessible in ways that work best for our community. Transcripts and video versions of this episode, along with all other podcast episodes, are available through the following links:
