Buunni and RightHear invite you for an afternoon with InsideAbility Founder and author, Krystal B.
Buunni has partnered with RightHear to provide an accessible experience for visually impaired customers, using Bluetooth beacon technology to deliver real-time audio descriptions of the environment. This installation makes the cafe more inclusive by helping users navigate and locate points of interest.
Connect with your queer community on a deeper level. Join us for a cup of coffee, and a series of queries and responses, where everyone responds to prompts designed to get right to the point.
How it works: each person will have time to answer a unique query. The room will listen & hold space: responses, reactions and requests for more information will be held until all prompts are complete. At the end of the event we’ll socialize so that you can show people how you connected with their share. Direct & real. Cut out the superficial.
Who’s this for?: People who identify as part of the queer and trans community. Accessibility: There are no stairs to the entrance. Masks are not required. Does this cost $?: While you’re not required to pay anything, please consider buying a tasty treat and bev from our Buunni hosts!
