Accessibility – Trungkar video description and apology
Below is a short description of my recent video poem, Trungkar. My apologies for not providing a description at the same time, and, as always, feedback welcome on my accessibility work.
Trungkar video description
Tibetan u-chen script, underlined, handwritten in black ink on paper.
The video slowly pans across a white page in a notebook of handwritten words and simple drawings in black ink. It reads:
“I often feel tiny.” The word tiny is underlined on both sides to give the feeling of smallness.
On a new line handwritten black text reads: Nobody knows who my people are.
Several shorter lines of handwritten black text: There has been – there is—so much disconnection, so much suffering, so much loss. It threatens to overwhelm
The word overwhelm is on a new line, written more messily.
On a new line handwritten black text reads: so I think about the enormity of
A simple drawing of three mountains with flat ground on each side contains the word “land”
On a new line handwritten black text reads: how tiny I would be in comparison
On a new line handwritten black text reads: to the rivers.
The word “rivers” is written in curvier text with swirling lines around it.
A hand turns the page of the notebook.
At the top of the page, handwritten black text reads: I think about the sun emerging to shine from behind the clouds.
The words are written around a simple drawing of a sun and four Tibetan-stylized clouds. The words “the sun” are capitalized and are positioned like a ray of the sun.
