A detail of a digital rendering of a motif from the Undue Burden fabric archive installation. Four columns of interlocked hand-drawn, graphite hook and loop jewelry clasps float on a royal blue, turquoise, and orange checked background. A hand-drawn, graphite, biomorphic shape attached to two balloons floats in the middle of each turquoise check. Each hook and loop clasp contains an image from the Undue Burden archive. Three of the photos have QR codes to audio descriptions in the Undue Burden digital archive.

Closing Ritual is the final community celebration for Undue Burden (Oct. 19 – Nov. 23, 2024), a community archive and event series celebrating the experiences of Disabled people.

We’ll gather to reflect, view archive materials, and showcase music, dance, and art created by collective members over the course of the residency. We’ll close by dreaming together about the future of the community archive and Hook&Loop. Food will be provided.

This event is for Sick, Disabled, Mad, neurodivergent, blind, and D/deaf folks.
