Editorial

The first outlines of this issue of Maska were drawn some time ago, when thinking about the (in)accessibility of our field of endeavour, which was also closely connected to considerations about the limited outreach of the printed journal in question. With a slight but noticeable and important increase in the presence of artists with disabilities1 in artistic lead positions and performers, which is a result of continuous activism, knowledge that is important to share in the field of performing arts and beyond has been accumulated. For one, it is a way of sensitising what has become a fast-paced routine of art production practice in the ableist framework, which hardly ever has the time to slow down and notice the different needs and wellbeing of everyone included. But foremost, it is valuable on its own, as it develops the tools to build an open and more accessible society, and Maska is dedicated to sharing the knowledge with its readers.
