Darren and Sara reflect on four years of Race Matters: how the show has evolved over the years, shaped their relationship and where the future of Race Matters lies. 

We then hear an interview with multidisciplinary artist Riana Head-Toussaint after the debut of her club night Crip Rave Theory. It was an event created in response to inaccessible and exclusionary club spaces, centring and celebrating all bodies that are sidelined in traditional nightlife culture. We’ll learn about how she created a club night drawing on disabled knowledge to create a more intersectionally-accessible rave space, shifting what we think access and inclusion means; and honouring the history of disability justice as being founded by black and brown queer folk. 

Our gratitude to Riana for sharing so generously, and for reminding us that accessibility is ongoing, loving and caring work.
