Haptic Horizons Residencies

Two older adults set up electronic haptic equipment at the centre of a room with exposed brick walls; one is standing, while the other, in a wheelchair, adjusts cables inside a metal frame beside a nearby touchscreen device.

The goals and objectives of the Haptic Horizon Residencies are centred on fostering a more inclusive and accessible arts landscape in Canada. The program aims to facilitate meaningful interactions between Deaf and disabled artists and the broader public, nurturing allyship and mutual understanding. 

Sari-Sari Xchange

Through its interdisciplinary approach, SSX reimagined the ‘sari-sari store’ — a Filipino term for a neighbourhood convenience shop — as a metaphor for cultural exchange and community resilience. By integrating emergent media with socially engaged art, the project created inclusive spaces for dialogue, innovation, and representation within the evolving landscape of digital storytelling.

The Box Dweller

A close-up cinematic portrait of a person with braided hair and round glasses. They have a serious expression, and the background is a soft-focus blur of shimmering, iridescent purple and blue light.

The Box Dweller is the result of an experimental film process centred around accessibility research. This film is the manifestation of the artist group’s discussions on cyborg theory, the self-regulation of human bodies, and the false dichotomy of nature versus technology. Utilizing a non-linear and non-traditional process guided by curiosity and capacity, this project empowered the Agile team to research and explore what accessible filmmaking could look like.
