SOUR Talks: Pinar Guvenc to Facilitate Virtual Talk on Accessibility & Emergent Technologies

April 16, 2026

We are pleased to share that SOUR Partner Pinar Guvenc will be facilitating an upcoming virtual talk hosted by the SVA MFA Interaction Design program. The session, titled "Accessibility & Emergent Technologies," will take place online on Monday, April 27.

Joined by Ming Wu, a writer and advisor in diversity, inclusion, and visual impairment, and Michael Tranquilli, an Occupational Therapist at the NYU Ability Project, Pinar will guide a critical conversation on the real-world impact of assistive AI.

The discussion will explore the current landscape of emergent technologies—examining whether devices like smart glasses live up to their promises for people with disabilities. Aligning closely with our studio's core belief in inclusive architecture and co-design, the panel will also address how we can build stronger, more effective collaborations between technologists, designers, and individuals with lived experiences.
