The Bear in the Room: Rethinking Access and Inclusion

Join us for a special screening and discussion featuring Bear and Working Different, two powerful works examining neurodiversity, accessibility, and inclusion in academic and creative spaces. Bear follows Jude, a neurodivergent student navigating a high-stakes college interview, where unspoken discomfort—and a very literal “bear in the room” brings into focus the pressure to conform within systems not built for difference. Working Different turns the lens toward the creative and educational pipeline itself, featuring conversations with students, faculty, and industry professionals who highlight the urgent need for accessible and inclusive practices—and explore why making access the standard benefits everyone.
