Accessibility Statement
A core element of the liberatory world we envision at BlackStar is ensuring that all members of our community can safely and easily access it. In pursuit of that vision, BlackStar is actively working to increase the accessibility of our spaces in order to right the ignorances of our past and create an environment that is different from the one offered to us by greater society. In the wake of the many overlapping and converging public health crises, this work takes on even greater significance because we know that we keep us safe.
We welcome you to make known to us any access needs or considerations not covered here. Please email us at access@blackstarfest.org if you have any questions or concerns.
