Screen South, through our Accentuate Programme, is delighted to launch our report, Curating for Change: disabled people leading in museums. This is based on extensive consultation we have undertaken over the last year in preparation for the Curating for Change programme (subject to funding). During the consultation we spoke to a wide range of museums, sector organisations, disabled people’s organisations, and D/deaf, disabled and neurodivergent people working in museums or wanting to pursue a career in museums. The report is a summary of this consultation, highlighting the barriers disabled people are facing if wishing to pursue a career in museums.
Key findings from this report include:
This report begins to explore where we are now in terms of engaging D/deaf, disabled and neurodivergent people with museums and urges the sector to proactively consider ways to increase this engagement, capitalising on the momentous shifts that have occurred during the past year, and preventing regression towards the long-held status quo. Over the coming months and years we will build a suite of resources and will be reaching out to others to share best practice and positive actions for the museum sector.
