Doubling as a launch for the Impaired short film series–which focuses on the brother’s relationship and the interdependencies between them–the event will include a medicinal tincture making workshop and special guest contributions from notable figures within the Disability Arts movement.
The event will also serve as an occasion for the brothers to release a limited edition edible artwork that was co-developed with their sister Veronica, containing a rare cannabis strain that is known to bring about hallucinations for those with vision loss.
