Join us for a virtual panel exploring the concept of accessibility in urban infrastructure and design. Panelists will discuss urban accessibility as a critical component of city life that impacts overall mobility and public transport.

Focusing on case studies from the United States, Nigeria, and Madagascar, the presentations will address DIY urbanism; design education; the future of accessible design; pioneering models like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA); and the spaces where art, learning, and community converge.

This program is coordinated by the National Gallery’s Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts.

Stephen Marr, senior lecturer, Malmö University 
Blessing Mary Ocheido, director general, Platinum Interventions Care Initiative 
Mathias Agbo Jr., built environment designer and researcher, Abuja, Nigeria 
Joan Razafimaharo, architect, Antananarivo, Madagascar

Panel moderated by Adedoyin Teriba, assistant professor, Dartmouth College
