Desire Path: Dreaming Access Art – Virtual Launch Event – The Curiosity Paradox
Channel: The Curiosity Paradox

Desire Path Project: https://www.desirepathproject.com

During the late autumn of 2021, The Curiosity Paradox held recorded conversations with leaders in the Portland area who we think practice some kind of Access Art.

From these conversations, The Curiosity Paradox have produced artistic learning materials on Access Art. This virtual launch event on February 18th will introduce the release of these materials, and mark the public start of the Desire Path Project.
