No Body But Ours (NBBO) is a monthly virtual performance series and community gathering space created by and for sick, disabled, Mad, neurodivergent, Deaf, Blind, and politically disabled QTIBIPOC/2S+ artists. Bringing together live performance, mutual practices & access toolkits and community conversation, our series centres access and racial justice as a collective practice and place for aesthetic imagination beyond an ableist, trans antagonist, extractivist world.

This series is hosted by the Collaboratory for Black Poiēsis (last Tuesdays, 7-9PM). Curated and co-convened by 2025/26 CBP artist-in-residence in Disability Poetics & Community Activism, Kay Ulanday Barrett and CBP Director and Associate Prof. Black Studies & the Archive at UofT, SA Smythe.

NBBO is supported in part by funding from the Social Sciences & Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) with additional promo support from the University of Toronto’s Centre for Global Disability Studies and the DH@UofT.

Thank you to Pro Bono ASL for providing ASL access!

A note on access: Unfortunately, the closed captions didn’t save with these recordings, but the transcripts will be added soon. In the meantime, we have included the scripts for the last three events.
