A core element of the liberatory world we envision at BlackStar is ensuring that all members of our community can safely and easily access our work. In pursuit of that vision, BlackStar is actively working to increase the accessibility of our spaces in order to right the ignorances of our past and create an environment that is different from the ones offered to us by greater society. In the wake of the many overlapping and converging public health crises, this work takes on even greater significance, because we know that we keep us safe.

We are far from perfect stewards of accessibility and disability justice. As such, we welcome you to make known to us any access needs or considerations not covered here. Please email us at access@blackstarprojects.org if you have any questions or concerns.

We recognize that the risks of COVID-19 and other viruses are still current, and we are committed to protecting all our community members. These guidelines are meant to sustain an environment where all participants are able to joyfully participate.

Masks are required at all indoor events, except when you are actively eating or drinking. Please plan to bring your own mask to the festival; we will have limited masks available onsite. Air purifiers will also be working throughout the venues.

Note: Venues outside the main festival campus may not require masks. While we cannot control their policies, we still request that festival attendees continue masking as part of our community agreement. We thank you for your dedication to protecting our entire community.
