Rethinking Disability Representation
- Research Centre for Museums and Galleries, University of Leicester
2008
“What role might museums and galleries play in challenging disabilism by informing the ways in which people think about disability and understand disabled peoples’ lives?
Initiated and managed by RCMG, Rethinking Disability Representation in Museums and Galleries (RDR) was a large scale, experimental project which developed new approaches to the interpretation of disability and the representation of disabled people’s lives and experiences in museums and galleries in the UK. It aimed to develop politically aware approaches to interpretation drawing on the social model of disability.”
