Ensuring accessibility in cultural institutions is fundamental to expanding access to culture and building more democratic and socially responsible spaces.

Seeking to strengthen this discussion, the Ipiranga Museum invites you to a roundtable discussion. Accessibility in Focus: Experiences and Roles in Museums and Cultural Spaces, a collective reflection on the challenges and advances in accessibility in museums and cultural spaces, considering exhibition, educational and programmatic aspects.

Experts in the field will share their experiences, practices, and perspectives, reinforcing the importance of recognizing people with disabilities not only as an audience, but as key players in creating more inclusive and representative institutions.

Closing the event, at 5pm, a performance “"Emerging from the cocoon"” It celebrates the strength and delicacy of women in an inclusive dance that unites dancers with and without disabilities. Through movement and poetry, the performance translates into body and color the flight of freedom and transformation.
