Design and Disability
Both a celebration and a call to action, Design and Disability showcases the radical contributions of Disabled, Deaf, and neurodivergent people and communities to design history and contemporary culture, from the 1940s to now.
★★★★★ A world-shaping, boundary-breaking joy of a show
