Lost and Limited Environments: Understanding Disability & Access to Art Spaces
A discussion of restrictive built environments and how social structures prevent people with disabilities from a thriving cultural life and pursuing a career within the art field.
A discussion between activist and contemporary art host Cath Borch Jensen and visual artist Anthony Dexter Giannelli, moderated by Olivia Dahl Ph.d. Candidate, Department of Sociology, UCPH.
The conversation calls into question the many factors that are limiting the environments people with disabilities must operate in within the art field. Beyond physically inaccessible built infrastructure, social and structural limitations are often left out of conversations on accessibility.
This talk expands on the work explored in the project Mapping Disability Access to Danish Art Spaces by UKK Art Workers with Disabilities supported by Bikuben Foundation and BKF’s Udvalg til Fordeling af Kulturelle Midler.
