Hot Off the Presses: RedefineABLE Catalogue
The Peale is excited to announce the publication of a brand new book with a focus on accessibility! Redefine/ABLE: Challenging Inaccessibility aims to inform audiences about disability issues, to share the challenges and success stories of those with disabilities, and to identify ways we can create more accessible, inclusive spaces.
This catalogue includes content from the Redefine/ABLE exhibition as well as disability-related essays from project collaborators. It is available in two formats: as a free digital download and as a pay-for-print version via Blurb.com.
