Centered on the concept of accessibility and inclusivity in the context of disabilities, this session included experts and museum and art practitioners, who shared perspectives and strategies on how museums and various institutions can better cater and engage with persons living with disabilities.
In this session, the museum had the pleasure to have with us:
- Ar. Erico Abordo, Architects for Accessibility
- Carolle Adrianne Manalastas, National Historical Commission of the Philippines
- Myra Medrana, School of Deaf and Applied Studies, College of Saint Benilde
*To improve the accessibility of the museum program, Filipino sign language interpretation and automated closed captioning were made available during the session, and subtitles were included in the recording.
