1:00 p.m. - Opening statement
1:15 p.m. - Opening conference
The state of play on needs and practices in terms of accessibility and inclusion through the arts and digital media.
What do we know about media works in film, video and digital art that are designed and produced for audiences with disabilities? To what extent do institutions support the inclusive participation of people with diverse abilities? What is being created and what do we need?
2:15 p.m. - Round-table discussion
What tools and professions are needed for cultural inclusion?
To better meet the needs of disabled audiences, what practices need to be integrated into the creation and production of media works? What funding, training and institutions are open to these new professions?
3:45 p.m. - Closing conference
What have we learnt from the current presentations? What new uses are technologies, including artificial intelligence, bringing to accessibility? Looking ahead, what trends are emerging to increase the cultural participation of people with disabilities? What can we expect in the arts and media industries?
