Disability Inclusion in Cultural Institutions during the Pandemic

This video recording from the Ontario Museum Association Annual Conference 2022 features:

  • Gillian King, Artist, Art Therapist (Thesis Pending), Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), Art & Wellness Consultant, Formerly Ottawa Art Gallery & Perley Health
  • Jack Hawk, Outreach Coordinator, Tangled Art + Disability
  • Kate Zankowicz, Manager of Youth, Family and Community Engagement, The Huntington
  • Natalie Hart, Education and Interpretation Program Officer, City of Ottawa Museums

During the pandemic, some cultural institutions shifted their experiences to be more accessible and leaned on the expertise of disabled communities to do so. Panelists from Canada and abroad will provide examples and practical advice on how cultural institutions can bring the voices of disabled people into their spaces in ways that respect and align with disability communities to move beyond mere accessibility compliance coming out of the pandemic.
