Ben and the co-designers made artwork on the theme of accessibility. They identified some of the things that are and some of the things that aren’t accessible for people who are autistic and/or have learning disabilities. After some discussion Ben set each co-designer a series of creative challenges to visualise these elements through paint, colour, texture, drawing, shape and patterns. You can navigate the artworks created one by one or through the different filters. We hope you will enjoy the artwork and get a sense of ‘a world that is and a world that isn’t’ accessible through our eyes.
