PH x College: Intro to Inclusive Design in Museums (Virtual)

Link to online Registration 

How are museums morally and ethically obligated to ensure their spaces are accessible to all? And are they delivering on that obligation and including disabled individuals in such conversations?

Join PH and artist, educator, and disability rights activist Oaklee Thiele in discussing the issue of museum accessibility and various measures cultural institutions can take to ensure all individuals are guaranteed the right to intellectually and physically engage with texts and publications from cultural institutions.

The workshop will include a breakout room session where attendees will be given a scenario that requires accessibility intervention. Attendees will then devise a solution to the problem using the tools and information provided in the talk, and have the opportunity to give a three-minute presentation on their ideas to the larger group. Readable and printable PDFs of a zine that outlines the workshop will be available online.

Poster House is a new museum that opened its door in 2019. Although we do not have all accessibility accommodations down, this is part of our effort in ensuring we do better. Accessibility is a process, and we are actively learning from disabled community members.
