The Bartlett, UCL Faculty of the Built Environment's video: Bartlett Inclusive Spaces series: Rethinking disability built space

This interactive workshop session starts from the work of disabled artists, designers, campaigners and scholars. Dr Jos Boys, Natasha Trotman, and Raquel Mesquer discuss how engaging with disability at the intersections can be both a creative design generator, and a key means to challenge and change what is ‘normal’ in the design of the built environment. Speakers: • Dr Jos Boys, Senior Lecturer in Environments for Learning, The Bartlett Real Estate Institute & co-director of The DisOrdinary Architecture Project • Natasha Trotman, Artist in Residence at Somerset House, and a designer whose work explores extending the frontiers of knowledge around mental difference, non-typical ways of being and marginalised experiences. • Raquel Mesquer, founder and Artistic Director of Unchartered Collective, where she develops projects and an aesthetic exploring difference as a creative tool, including ‘A Crash Course in Cloudspotting (the subversive act of horizontality)’. https://uncharteredcollective.com/ . . .
