“Nothing Without Us: A Baltimore Story”

Last winter, student curators worked with two disability justice mentors from Melanie Hood-Wilson and Associates and six local disabled accessibility consultants on improving access for their Baltimore-based exhibitions of Elizabeth Talford Scott’s art. Students come from the Maryland Institute College of Art, Morgan State University, Johns Hopkins, and Coppin University.

Members of the group will present about their experiences designing accessible exhibitions at the Maryland Citizens for the Arts Summit, held June 20th and 21st, 2024. At this presentation, they’ll screen the audio described short film, Nothing Without Us: A Baltimore Story, which documents the collaboration.
