ACCESSIBLE ICON

We worked with our extended team, including self-advocates with disabilities and allies, to iterate through various possibilities, shown strewn over a table on paper here, for the final icon... Instead, we wanted this icon-action to be the occasion for asking questions about disability and the built environment, in the largest sense. Who has access-physically, yes, but moreover, to education, to meaningful citizenship, to political rights? Framing this work as a street art campaign allowed it to live as a question, rather than a resolved proposition. At least at the outset... The Accessible Icon Project is an ongoing work of design activism. It starts with a graphic icon, free for use in the public domain, and continues its work as a collaboration among people with disabilities and their allies toward a more accessible world.
