“[I]f disability isn't located in the body but is instead located at the intersection of bodies and spaces, it really gives a lot of agency to designers to unmake and remake environments.”

Visit the Art Works blog for today’s Notable Quotable: Joshua Halstead, designer, disability advocate, and researcher of the 2021 NEA report Disability Design, joined the Art Works podcast in 2021 to chat about reimagining the way designers think about disability.
