Event Description

Join us for the 10th annual Cracks in the Concrete conference as we explore the theme “Beneath the Surface: Illuminating Visible & Invisible Disabilities.” This milestone gathering will focus on amplifying the voices and experiences of individuals living with visible and invisible disabilities, particularly people of colour who are often left out of disability discourse. Together, we aim to foster a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by those living with disabilities that are not immediately visible, while building bridges of empathy, compassion, and respect.

Over this transformative weekend, we’ll challenge societal perceptions that are shaped by first appearances and examine how our personal biases and programming impact interactions. Through a rich lineup of workshops, discussions, and artistic performances, we will explore disability and identity, emphasizing how we are more alike than we are different.

Featured sessions will delve into topics such as the invisibility of autism, dyslexia, vision loss, poor hearing, and speech challenges, while also addressing the unique barriers faced by people of colour living with visible disabilities.

This year’s conference is more than a conversation—it’s a call to action to see beyond the surface and embrace difference.
