Lunchtime Lectures: Design and Disability- Curator's Talk
This event is part of the free Lunchtime Lecture series. No booking is required.
Where is disability in design? Design is often seen as something that happens to, or for disabled people, rather than being the networks, ecologies, and cultures of design practice that they really are. Join Natalie Kane, curator of Design and Disability for a talk on curating disabled-led design practices through the exhibition Design and Disability, and what it means to embed access-first exhibition making practices with others.
Natalie D Kane is Curator of Digital Design at the V&A, and Curator of Design and Disability (June – Feb 2025). With the V&A, they curated the official U.K. pavilion at the 2018 London Design Biennale, and the official U.K. pavilion at the 2019 XXII Milan Triennale, showing the work of Forensic Architecture. Natalie is a Trustee of the British Games Institute / National Videogames Museum and on the Advisory Board for the Society for Computers and Law. Recently, they have joined the Barbican Renewal’s Access and Inclusive Design Advisory Group (2025 – 2030). They are editor of Design and Disability (2025), published with the V&A.
