Exhibition on Active and Inclusive Spaces

As part of the project led by monoDestudio, we provided guidance and support in the design and production of a museum exhibition at the Las Cigarreras Cultural Center (Alicante), based on documentation generated during successive participatory meetings that focused on functional diversity and the post-pandemic activation of urban space and culture.

This exhibition gathers the reflections and experiences of participants from groups linked to functional and sensory diversity, and it is organized in a small room at Las Cigarreras, following accessibility criteria for both the space and the information presented. The main idea is to display the critical dialogue generated, visually and graphically communicating the issues that concern these groups to the broader audience. The process of critical reflection and work, therefore, serves as the generator of new cultural content that, in addition to empowering the involved groups, enables a social return of their own cultural production.

We contributed our experience in projects related to functional diversity and urban environments, as well as communication accessibility, to collaborate with monoDestudio in designing and producing the expression of the contents for the exhibition “MvMet: A Reflection on More Active and Accessible Public Spaces.” The exhibition features high-contrast signage, tactile elements, easy-to-understand pictograms, information tailored to reading distance, and an organization of content that facilitates following the overall narrative. All of this is prepared so that the museum experience can be enjoyed by any visitor, regardless of their functional or sensory diversity.
