Proper Time

In this Lunchtime Talk Raquel Meseguer Zafe, Founder of Unchartered Collective, shares some of the learnings from her project Proper Time, a model that was developed to make it more possible for chronically ill artists to make live performance without impacting their health. 

She will talk about the creative tech the team evolved to explore absent and presence, recurring themes in her work to connect online disabled participant performers to live performance spaces in meaningful ways. Raquel will then reflect more broadly on working with the theme of time and how this intersects with climate justice questions.
