Working closely with Lindsay Bywood and Hannah Thompson, the National Paralympic Heritage Trust have used the W-ICAD model to create an inclusive audio guide for all visitors of their Global Virtual Museum. Selected exhibits throughout the galleries can now be experienced via inclusive audio descriptions co-created by a team of disabled and non-disabled community members, NPHT staff and volunteers.
The Ensemble exhibition, curated by Hettie James & Stephanie Farmer, drew on the principles of the W-ICAD project. It involved 6 artworks, each of which was made up of 2 audio descriptions, one created by the original artists, and one created by artist and one by a group of writers and artists led by Joe Rizzo-Naudi. The exhibition did not contain the original physical artworks. The audio descriptions can be listened to by following the above link.
In this project, project lead Steph Roberts drew on the W-ICAD model to co-create inclusive audio description with a group of blind and partially blind artists and contributors, to take ‘another look’ at portraits of blind harpists in the historic art collections of National Museum Cardiff. The day-long workshop explored both description and interpretation of these artworks, considering representations of blindness in art, and what it means to be ‘seen’ or not, as disabled people within our cultural collections. You can listen to the inclusive descriptions that resulted from this project by following this link.
