About
What does it mean to live with disability? What does it mean for an individual, and what does it mean for a community, or for a society? What attitude and what kind of tools are needed for a society, where not only a small minority of people live with various disabilities, to become a community that is integral, able to have empathy and practice solidarity?
Where is the place and what is the responsibility of the designer and the artist in this process? The project seeks answers for the above questions in the framework of lectures, film screenings, designer workshops, exhibitions, university coursework in close collaboration with the affected and their representing organizations.
About
The Lab has also been part of a number of other exhibitions, events and workshops as an organizer or as a participant.
