The motion
That this House welcomes the opening of the Design and Disability exhibition at the V&A Dundee highlighting the contributions of disabled people and their achievements in design, art, architecture, fashion and photography; notes that the exhibition features Scottish design stories and the contributions made by disabled designers, scientists and entrepreneurs who are being represented by 170 objects separated into three sections throughout the museum, visibility, creativity and living; highlights how the creativity, experience and expertise of disabled-led design have made invaluable contributions to the designed world and contributed to the improved daily lives of people throughout the world; recognises the work of designers such as the University of Dundee-led Hands of X project that explores the design of prosthetic hands, Jamie O’Donnell who has sought to create airline seating that reduces anxiety for neurodivergent people, and Kirsty Stevens who uses MRI scans of her brain to create images and patterns following her multiple sclerosis diagnosis; celebrates the roles of Natalie Kane for curating the exhibition for V&A South Kensington and May Rosenthal Sloan and Lily Barnes for curating this at the V&A Dundee; and wishes all involved the best for the future.
