This month, The Disability Collective is mounting 20 Years Later: The (In)Accessibility of Ontario, a photography exhibition showcasing the shortcomings of the AODA (Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act). When Describer/Consultant duo JJ Hunt and Christine Malec were brought on board to write the visual descriptions, they proposed an experiment: instead of JJ writing the descriptions and Christine consulting, as usual, what if Christine (who is Blind) wrote the descriptions using AI to gather visual information, and JJ (who is sighted) consulted to ensure accuracy.
In this episode, JJ and Christine discuss the challenges, advantages, and results of this unique, disability-led approach.

20 Years Later: The (In)Accessibility of Ontario runs from October 9th to 26th, 2025 at Daniels Spectrum, 585 Dundas Street East in Toronto.
