[accordions collapsible=true active=false][acco rdion title="Accessible Arts and Popular Culture Workshop: Non-Visual Engag ements with Ainu Traditional Crafts and Japanese Popular Culture"]
Ac cessible Arts and Popular Culture Workshop is generously funded by the Pop Pedag ogies Award.
Accessible Arts and Popular Culture Workshop: Non-vi sual engagements with Ainu traditional crafts and Japanese popular culture\ , a knowledge sharing and touch tour experience is a redesign of a special teaching session for ASIA 590. The workshop has been redesigned for iSchool Community Learning Day\, an inaugural occasion where the iSchool will be c ancelling classes in favour of equity and inclusion focused events\, worksh ops\, and other engagements for students\, staff\, and faculty.
The w orkshop will include a panel of information professionals from the GLAM sec tor sharing their knowledge before an activity portion involving a touch to ur and tactile art room distributed at multiple learning stations. The work shop speaks to how the arts and popular culture can be taught as a form of multi-sensory art appreciation\, non-visual and tactile experiences made po ssible by libraries and museums supporting accessible engagement opportunit ies\, with a focus on media from Japan and the idea of the universal museum .
At the end of the workshop\, attendees will leave with a stronger u nderstanding of how the arts and popular culture are not purely visual medi ums but rather multi-sensory\, eroding against cultural institutions that c ontinue to argue for a world where art is forbidden to be touched.

2:20pm to 2:30pm: Break / Move Between Rooms
