How are subjectivities shaped by systems of meaning and access? How can they be used to create space for others?</p><h3>The Max Wasserman Forum</h3><p>The 2023 Max Wasserman Forum: Altered Access brings together artists, educators, and curators to discuss current disability discourse within the arts and museum institutions.</p><p>This year’s Wasserman Forum will consist of two days of hybrid programming including a virtual keynote address, and three hybrid panel discussion.
