From 7 June 2025 until 15 February 2026 the Victoria and Albert Museum are holding a captivating experience in The Porter Gallery at South Kensington.
The focal part of these works will be outlining disability as an identity through design. This will ignite an understanding of showmanship from 1940s until now.
Disabled. deaf and neurodivergent people are celebrated through this interpretation of creative works in the making.
Over 170 objects will be displayed under three titles including “Visibility, Tools and Living”. This will be shown through design, art, architecture, and photography.
The accessibility of an exhibition has been greatly thought of in the curation phases of this contribution to equality. It questions how thought processes are combined with the creator’s ethics.
Natalie Kane, Curator of Design and Disability said: “This exhibition shows how Disabled people are the experts in our own lives, and have made invaluable contributions to our designed world. Design and Disability aims to honour Disabled life as it engages with creative practice, presenting a strong culture of making that has always been central to Disabled identity. In putting this show together, it is an act of joy and resistance.”
