Design and Disability exhibition book

This visually rich book celebrates design ingenuity, acknowledging the significant contributions of disabled individuals and communities to design and making that point that, simply put, inclusive design is better for all. Covering ten projects across fields including fashion, community practices, social media, graphic design, gaming and architecture, Design and Disability delves into the motivations and methods of their creators. It poses questions that are central to their design such as how to balance diverse access needs, what does radical visibility mean and what makes a community.

Design and Disability offers a manifesto for living, now and into the future. It addresses an urgent gap in the literature and is led by disabled communities, emphasising the importance of recognising disabled individuals as experts in their own experiences.

Available at a special price via the V&A Shops (RRP £25).
