Hi everyone!
Wikimedia Argentina is organizing an event as part of the Image Description
Month (https://w.wiki/7HXa) that will address accessibility and images.
I'm sharing their official message about the event below both in English
and Spanish:
*[ENGLISH] *
"Wikimedia Argentina's Culture and Open Knowledge program invites you to an
event that will address accessibility as a transversal perspective in
cultural spaces: Accessible cultural experiences. From the territory to the
screen. The proposal is part of "Image Description Month", a call to action
coordinated by the Wikimedia Foundation aimed at making images more
accessible and easier to find on Wikimedia projects.
The event will cover different resources accessible to people who are blind
or have low vision to learn about their production processes and the social
impact they generate, focusing on audio descriptions or descriptions of
images. To do this, concepts will alternate with samples of accessible
resources produced in the territory, under the in-person modality (such as
theaters, cinemas, museums), and others made from virtuality (platforms,
social networks, web pages).
In addition, an instance of practice and exchange will be enabled so that,
based on audio description guidelines, alternative texts can be
collectively produced in images positioned on Wikipedia.
This proposal is facilitated by Gladys Benítez, screenwriter and narrator
of audio descriptions for series and films. She is a member of the program
TNC Accessible del Teatro Nacional Cervantes.
Interpretation in English and Spanish will be available.

"El programa de Cultura y Conocimiento Abierto de Wikimedia Argentina
invita a virtual que aborda la accesibilidad como perspectiva transversal
en los espacios culturales. La propuesta forma parte del "Mes de la
descripción de imágenes", un llamado a la acción coordinado por la
Fundación Wikimedia cuyo fin es que las imágenes sean más accesibles y más
fáciles de encontrar en los proyectos wikimedia.
En la charla se recorrerán distintos recursos accesibles para personas
ciegas o con baja visión para conocer sus procesos de producción y el
impacto social que generan, haciendo foco en la audiodescripción o
descripción de imágenes. Para ello, se alternarán conceptos con muestras de
recursos accesibles producidos en territorio, bajo la modalidad presencial
(como las salas de teatro, cine o museos) y otras realizadas desde la
virtualidad, a través de las diversas pantallas (plataformas, redes
sociales, páginas web).
Además, se habilitará una instancia de práctica e intercambio para que, a
partir de pautas de audiodescripción, se puedan producir colectivamente
textos alternativos en imágenes posicionadas en Wikipedia.
Facilita esta propuesta Gladys Benítez, guionista y narradora de
audiodescripciones para series y películas. Integrante del programa TNC
Accesible del Teatro Nacional Cervantes.
La charla contará con traducción simultánea al inglés. Te esperamos.
