In memory of Christine Karcza

Luminato honours the memory of Christine Karcza  (1950-2020),our long-term accessibility consultant.  As a staunch advocate for better accessibility practices, she set Luminato on our path towards meaningful inclusion. She was treasured by the community and is deeply missed. 

Our commitment to Accessibility

Luminato is working hard to bring accessibility into the centre of what we do and we know this is a deep process which requires a long-term commitment. We are looking from every angle, inside and out, at how to change the way we work. Our internal programs include biweekly Lunch & Learn sessions, ASL lessons, as well as regular consultation with our advisory to offer feedback on office design, website functionality, artistic processes, training, and more. We are committed to hiring more Disabled staff and artists. We are committed to creating transparency with Radio LUMI’s behind-the-scenes podcasts and the expanding Access Hub. We are excited to share the work we’re doing and to keep growing in our commitments.

Access Advisory

This year we are increasing our investment in the creativity and guidance of our Access Advisory, expanding our committee to nine exceptional community members: Hope-Adina Adler, Natasha “Courage” Bacchus, Art Gunter, Jack Hawk, Sean Lee, Christine Malec, Gaitrie Persaud, Brennan Roy, Theodore Walker Robinson, and Jessica Watkin (independent consultant). In addition to members meeting four times a year to offer guidance, this year, the advisory members formed a curatorial collective as part of the co-curation of our nightly festival cabaret. Throughout the year, members lead specific projects from ASL classes to blog podcasts, training sessions, panel discussions, in addition to the festival programs listed above.  

Conformance status

As per the Government of Ontario’s AODA standards, beginning January 1, 2021, all public websites and web content posted after January 1, 2012 must meet WCAG 2.0 Level AA other than criteria 1.2.4 (live captions) and 1.2.5 (pre-recorded audio descriptions). Our new website launched in March 2021 with new accessibility features. The testing began in fall 2020 with assistance from members of our advisory and other Disabled experts in the field. We strive to create content that exceeds the minimum standards required by law.
