In London, a Museum Show About Disability and Design

The exhibition "Design and Disability" in London explores the intersection of disability and design. It challenges the traditional notion of "universal design" by highlighting the unique identities and bodies of people with disabilities. The exhibition features a range of design projects, from assistive technologies to everyday objects, that cater to the diverse needs and experiences of individuals with disabilities. The exhibition showcases how design can empower and emancipate people with disabilities, enabling them to navigate the world more independently and with greater dignity. It also emphasizes the importance of involving people with disabilities in the design process, ensuring that their perspectives and requirements are reflected in the final products. The exhibition aims to shift the conversation around disability, moving away from a medical model and towards a more inclusive, social model that values the diversity of human experiences. By highlighting the creative and innovative solutions developed by designers and people with disabilities, the exhibition challenges the stigma and misconceptions surrounding disability.
