Editorial: ‘Transdisciplinarity in Disability, Art and Design’

Abstract

This Special Issue, guest-edited by art historian and curator Amanda Cachia, brings together artists and researchers situated in the overlapping communities concerned with disability studies, art and design to explore how the concept of ‘transdisciplinarity’ helps to navigate the intersection of disability, art form, audience and context. Readers will encounter a dynamic blend of twelve scholarly and artistic projects, which collectively explore evolutions and trends within the cross-pollination of disability, art and design, and explore the critical role of access as a medium of change.
