The Republic of Inclusion

Taking place from June 27 - 29 at the Shenkman Centre in Ottawa, The Republic of Inclusion will be an artistic experience inspired by the explorations of The Study and will feature a core company of leading and emerging artists and creators from the Deaf, disability and Mad arts community. The goals of this event include fostering greater knowledge and understanding of inclusion in an artistic context, and inspiring collaboration, partnership and programming that truly reflects Canadian diversity.

The Republic of Inclusion is for everyone. Dive into the immersive, accessible and inclusive world of Deaf, disability and Mad arts. Performance bursts, curated conversations, fine food and drink, djs and dance, live music and visual art await you! Featuring leading artists and creators from around the country and beyond, The Republic of Inclusion promises to reveal the scope of existing works, and practice in Canada.
