GLUE: about that #inclusion
A Multimedia Exhibition by Jasmine H. Low
Director’s Statement
I have thought about access for a long time. While there is no one stopping another from participating in sport, the ability or want to participate in sport itself, could be a barrier. Access is a key to inclusion and equity. But what if certain groups of our society are unable to access sport due to other socio-economic, geographic or even cultural factors? Since 2018, my team and I have been advocating for exercise and movement as therapy and we have spoken with many community leaders to understand their needs. Through their lens, we learn.
