We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the place now called South Australia, and all First Peoples living and working on this land. We celebrate the history and contemporary creativity of the world’s oldest living culture and pay respect to Elders – past, present and future. We acknowledge Kaurna, Peramangk and Ngadjuri peoples on whose lands our events and activities are imagined, planned and held. This always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.

Universal access is a priority for Disjunction. As a ‘living publication’, we are working to deliver international best practice access. We will continue to update access elements.

Our aim is to directly address the digital divide. We have designed this project to centre a range of access requirements. We want everyone to be able to engage and contribute.

Disjunction challenges the ‘default normal’ of how to navigate a digital project. We invite everyone to use the access tools. Let’s work together to build an accessible, just world. 

As a benchmark in legibility the website uses FS Me Font. An accessible typeface with easy reading letter shapes.

Easy Read

The idea of easy read originated in Sweden in the 1980’s. Easy read uses plain English and short sentences to explain a topic or statement. This approach makes even complex concepts easier to understand. Each sentence is matched up with an image that helps convey the gist of the message.

Plain English

Plain English (layman’s terms) are groups of words that are easy to understand and easy to know. It usually avoids the use of rare words and uncommon euphemisms to explain the subject. Plain English wording is intended to be suitable for almost anyone, and it allows for good understanding to help readers know a topic.[1] It is considered as a part of Plain Language.
