Nothing about us without us – disability, inclusivity and engagement. 15 April 2021, 15:00\u201317:00<\/h3>\n

Convened by Tony Heaton, Sculptor and Disability Activist<\/h4>\n

This session explores the intersection between collections, disability and wellbeing. Are disabled makers and visitors reflected in public collections and their programming? Do they have a voice at the table? Are sector professionals responsive to the wellbeing of disabled visitors? Tony Heaton speaks to museum professionals and artists in the first of three online sessions which consider the potential for museum\/heritage collections to support and enhance visitor wellbeing.<\/p>\n
