01:13:29
Thank you Victoria. Here is a link to Para Arts Foundation: https://www.paraarts.org/

I can’t confirm that they described that character not being low vision myself but also the script itself never makes a point to highlight the black characters Blackness and so the white-centring narrative it sounds like is reflected in the white washed audio describing and this relationship is super integral to think about thank you!

Hi, this is awesome! I’ve been thinking lately that we shouldn’t hide alt text because sighted people can’t see it—ha! So they can ignore it’s existence, and also they don’t learn how to do it in a natural way. I’ve been just putting it into the text of the post. Do you think the hidden quality of alt text has kept it from being ubiquitous? Perhaps also putting alt text or image descriptions upfront where everyone can see might also help move it from being unsexy compliance to aesthetically pleasing accessibility?

01:15:10
thank you!!!

01:15:40
@Leona -- agreed! Also alt text feature is "hidden" in the options of Instagram. You have to click thru to even find the place to add them

01:17:08
@Leona totally. On the webpage for this event Destiny decided to publicly post the alt text. But we don’t always do that and maybe we should

01:20:45
Fantastic essay by John Lee Clark called “Against Access”: https://audio.mcsweeneys.net/transcripts/against_access.html

Functional redundancy makes systems more resilient. So yeah, alt-text, long desc, image description under captions, it’s all good. And folks can find their level of interaction.

01:38:46
Or make it a required field.

01:44:59
I haven't watched Squid Game yet because there's no English AD :(

01:47:27
)))))))))) i only spoke about translation with my friend!!)))

01:50:59
Thank you so much everyone! Amazing offering / answers

01:56:54
I have problems with my speech. question is we have any program for my speech or not?

01:58:04
yaaaaaaa after party <3

01:58:45
We can get the questions to Destiny to post on the CDS twitter account — or if someone else wants to post we will chime in!

01:59:24
We recently organised a conference and we used Hubilo which has the option to have conversations at virtual tables afterwards and there were a lot of fruitful conversations that were had at those tables after the panels

01:59:56
So using a platform like that for the next time would be a good shout I think

02:00:05
Thank you all for doing this <3

02:02:00
Thank you for elevating that! The idea of AD being an afterthought or "accommodation" is so different than ACCESS (by design)!

02:02:12
I loved the Panel, it's totally amazing to know these perspectives. It would be wonderful to take these last questions and do a Part 2 of this Panel.

02:04:26
Thank you, everyone.
