Breaking the Frame: Museums as a Space for Inclusion Through Universal Design
Join us for the first event in a new collaborative series between Bevica Fonden and CAFx. A series in which we investigate and share stories of how we can collectively create truly inclusionary spaces
At Copenhagen Architecture Forum we’re excited to announce a new collaborative effort with Bevica Fonden.
Over a series of events - titled Inclusion Talks: A Universal Design Perspective - we will investigate and share stories of how we can collectively create truly inclusionary spaces - spaces that are successful in rethinking our shared spaces, inviting more people in – from physical spaces to AI and digital spaces.
In the first event we zoom in on the role museums and cultural institutions play. Museums have a key role in shaping cultural narratives, yet many still exclude visitors who don't fit the traditional visitor model.
In a talk between Camilla Ryhl, Research Director at the Bevica Foundation and Head of Universal Design Hub, Louise Kæmpe Henriksen, curator at the New Viking Ship Museum, and student travel grant winner of the Bevica Scholarship Programme 2025-2026 Camille Wenner from the Royal Danish Academy we explore how universal design and co-designing can be a means to create a more inclusive environment in museums and cultural spaces.
The talk is moderated by author and co-founder of the change agency Infuturum Moussa Mchangama.
All events will be turned into podcasts, allowing multiple points of entry and knowledge building, for joining the discussion.

About Bevica Fonden:
Bevica Fonden was established in 1872 in response to the prevailing view of the human at the time, when persons with disabilities were not regarded as equal members of society.
Today, the foundation works on the basis of Denmark’s ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and the Convention’s emphasis on universal design as a values-based approach to creating a more equitable society for all.
With the Bevica Scholarship Programme the foundation supports innovative and bold thinkers to investigate how their profession can contribute to the development of universal design as a lever for the Sustainable Development Goals’ pledge to Leave No One Behind.
