Statement on accessibility
As an Onöndowa’ga:’ (Seneca) artist who has created and presented performance and installation work for more than thirty years, I have been and continue to be committed to accessibility. This website reflects my desire to connect with D/deaf, blind/low-vision, neuro-diverse, and disabled communities.
The website integrates American Sign Language (ASL), audio and image description, and other design elements that make the website accessible. I aim to have all rosysimas.com website content accessible by June 2025.
In addition to English and ASL, the site will be available in Onöndawa’ga:’ by June 2025.
If you have any questions, please email: info(at)rosy simas(dot)com or use the form on the contact page.
Access consultant Barak adé Soleil led the creation of this website in collaboration with website builder Stowe Silver and artist Rosy Simas. Design elements contributed by Maryam Marne Zafar. Onöndawa’ga:’ translation provided by Damian Webster.
