ABLE Voices Ep 25: Jeff Kasper

Dr. Rhoda Bernard, founder and managing director of The Berklee  Institute for Accessible Arts Education is proud to present the ABLE  Voices podcast featuring artists and arts educators with disabilities.    We are inviting disabled artists and arts educators to be guests and  guest hosts on ABLE Voices. Today's guest host is Megan Bent. Megan is a  lens-based artist interested in the malleability of photography and the  ways image-making can happen beyond using a traditional camera. This  interest started to occur after the diagnosis of a progressive chronic  illness. She is drawn to image-making processes that reflect and embrace  her disabled experience; especially interdependence, impermanence,  care, and slowness.  For today's episode, Megan will be interviewing Jeff Kasper. Jeff is an  interdisciplinary artist, writer, and educator working in public art,  design, and social engagement. He creates pedagogical tools, text-based  projects, social spaces, publications, games, exhibitions, community  education, and workshops, often in partnership with organizations. Much  of his recent work examines the dynamics of social support, proximity,  and safety, with a focus on how people practice care and collaboration,  especially in times of conflict and crisis.  The ABLE Voices podcast is produced and edited by BIAAE Operations  Coordinator, Daniel Martinez del Campo. The introduction music was  written by Kai Levin and the ending song was written by Sebastian  Batista. Kai and Sebastian are students in the Arts Education Programs  at the Berklee Institute for Accessible Arts Education.For more information about our programs visit us at:  https://college.berklee.edu/BIAAEFollow us for more weekly updates at:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/berkleeiaae/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BerkleeIAAE
