V&A Dundee showcase the radical contributions of Disabled, Deaf and neurodivergent people to contemporary design and culture.


Spanning the 1940s to present day, V&A Dundee’s new free exhibition Design and Disability will feature around 170 objects across three themes within design, art, architecture, fashion and photography. It will show how Disabled people have designed for every aspect of life through their own experience and expertise, tracing the political and social history of design and disability.

Through examples of disability-first practices showcasing the work of Disabled people and collaborators, Design and Disability is both a celebration of Disabled-led design and a call for action – affirming the importance of embedding the experiences and expertise of Disabled, Deaf, and neurodivergent people in design processes.
