A Recipe for Disaster (2017)

Carolyn Lazard’s A Recipe for Disaster uses the first program shown with captions on US television in 1972—Julia Child's The French Chef—to compose a wider study on the terms of media accessibility. The video’s compelling spoken/written manifesto-like text (and deadpan audio description) counter-narrates the original broadcast and casts a profound critique of inclusion as add-on or afterthought.
