Adopting recurring access to a masked environment keeps culture accessible to all. Whether attendees are immunocompromised, elderly, or simply health-conscious or community-minded, a masked environment \u2013 at the very least, some of the time \u2013 helps your supporters visit your space and enjoy what you do. A mask-mandatory period creates a predictable environment where visitors can make informed choices about their daily risk.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=\u00a0\u00bb15619&Prime; img_size=\u00a0\u00bblarge\u00a0\u00bb css=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column_text css=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb]It might help drive attendance.\u00a0It\u2019s not our main motivation, but instituting a mask policy \u2013 and gently enforcing it \u2013 is \u201cgood for business\u201d too. Many potential supporters won\u2019t attend in-person because they are not comfortable with the risk. You could be a theatre, an art gallery, or a cultural hub, and ensuring safe, masked access will engage a new group that is currently staying at home.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=\u00a0\u00bb15620&Prime; css=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column_text css=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb]It helps keep everyone safe.\u00a0A masked environment is safer for everyone \u2013 that much is clear. It\u2019s safer for staff who can disrupt operations if they get sick. It\u2019s safer for visitors, whether or not disabled. It\u2019s safer for artists, performers, and facilitators too. Wearing a mask not only protects the mask-wearer, but everyone around them. And if everyone wears a mask, everyone is safer.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=\u00a0\u00bb15621&Prime; css=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column_text css=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb]It\u2019s about more than Covid and Disabled people. Masking isn\u2019t just about the pandemic, even if COVID-19 is the subtext that seems obvious. This is about more than disabled people too. There are numerous respiratory illnesses circulating at any moment with long-term health consequences. Many call the pandemic a \u201cmass disabling event\u201d because of the long-term effects of so many viral infections. And plenty of non-disabled people continue to mask because they would rather access culture in a safer environment with lower risks to their health.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=\u00a0\u00bb15622&Prime; css=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column_text css=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb]It\u2019s not over because you ignore it. The pandemic persists. When disabled folks hear \u201cback during the pandemic,\u201d we remind ourselves \u201cit\u2019s still going, in a way, even if broader society is ignoring it and moving on.\u201d Respiratory illnesses are here to stay, and viruses don\u2019t care that political leaders have decided that it\u2019s no longer worth addressing.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=\u00a0\u00bb15623&Prime; css=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column_text css=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb]Safety is integral to inclusion.\u00a0We\u2019re not \u201cincluded\u201d if your space is unsafe. Many cultural spaces will build a ramp or hang a pride flag, but disregard that inclusion necessitates safety as a baseline. Mask-mandatory spaces should be mandatory in our view, but you can implement specific periods of mask-mandated time as a compromise. And gently enforcing your masking policy with free masks on hand ensures the environment is predictably safe instead of a mixed bag of masked audiences and unwitting visitors.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=\u00a0\u00bb15624&Prime; css=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column_text css=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb]It\u2019s like sensory-friendly shows, but for masks. We already do this, in a way. We accept and include different bodies and abilities when a theatre schedules a \u201csensory-friendly\u201d screening, or a play is presented during a \u201cchild-friendly show.\u201d Different people need different things, and one way to navigate \u201caccess conflicts\u201d is to schedule different parameters at different times.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=\u00a0\u00bb15625&Prime; css=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column_text css=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb]Masking is community care.\u00a0As Nakita Valerio said in a viral post on social media, \u201cShouting \u2018self-care\u2019 at people who actually need community care is how we fail people.\u201d Accessing art is part of a healthy, vibrant life, and disabled people (and health-conscious people) deserve that too.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=\u00a0\u00bb15626&Prime; css=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column_text css=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb]It helps you \u201cwalk the walk.\u201d\u00a0Cultural spaces often \u201ctalk the talk\u201d of equity, diversity, accessibility and inclusion. Yes, these ideals serve as important compasses. But \u201cwalking the walk\u201d requires action. And living those values requires implementing safer environments, even if it takes a bit of work and planning.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb]<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_How_can_I_adjust_this_idea_for_my_specific_venue\"><\/span>3.

Aquil&rsquo;s personal reflections<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><em>Masked Mondays<\/em> is a multi-media web campaign pushing cultural spaces to institute recurring mask-mandatory periods of access. The idea is to keep culture accessible to all.<\/p>\n<p>For me, an important aspect of \u201ccare\u201d is advocacy. In the same way that socialism can be \u201corganized compassion\u00a0\u00bb, advocacy can be \u201corganized care.\u201d While my instinct is to frame discussions of care in an interpersonal way, I thought it would be fruitful for my project to promote values of community care. I think that the systems of our lives and the rules within our control should care for us.<\/p>\n<p>During the early days of the pandemic, I was acutely aware of how broader rules and regulations established a baseline of care without depending on individual decisions in an individualist society. I\u2019m immunocompromised, and a respiratory illness could easily lead to a hospital visit (or worse). Mask mandates early on set a standard that most people were willing to oblige, even if they wouldn\u2019t necessarily mask on their own accord.<\/p>\n<p>As the years pass since the pandemic\u2019s onset, I have appreciated that certain art galleries and cultural spaces have kept some form of mask mandates. I still mask in almost every indoor public space I visit, and so I am caring for myself by advocating for mask mandates while caring for others at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>Many of my art projects focus, in some way, on social change movements. I\u2019m pleased with this project\u2019s emphasis on tangible impact. The goal is to concretely increase safe access to cultural spaces for disabled and non-disabled people. My art projects also tend to involve participation and crowdsourced perspectives because I believe that we learn more when we include more people at the table. Most questions have multiple answers, and most art projects are enriched by more participant voices.<\/p>\n<p>This project shares 9 specific reasons to adopt a <em>Masked Mondays<\/em> policy, acknowledging numerous lenses that support the idea. By using participatory art processes \u2013 encouraging participants to fill out the \u201cI still mask because\u2026\u201d template and submit voice notes that were collaged into a video \u2013 my goal was to align this project with the community values it promotes. <em>Masked Mondays<\/em> attempts to gently push cultural institutions towards values of community care so that they might further \u201cwalk the walk\u201d of their published missions. Masking helps us all, and recurring mask-mandatory periods help keep culture accessible to everyone.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb]<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"About_the_creator\"><\/span>About the creator<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=\u00a0\u00bb1\/3&Prime;][vc_single_image image=\u00a0\u00bb15896&Prime; img_size=\u00a0\u00bb400 x 400&Prime; css=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\u00a0\u00bb2\/3&Prime;][vc_column_text css=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb]<strong>Aquil Virani<\/strong> is an award-winning visual artist and filmmaker \u2013 of Indian and French heritage \u2013 who often integrates public participation into his creative process.
