🙌 Our third workshop host: Emily Slater

At this year’s ICOM Malta Seminar: Museums as Spaces of Connection, Emily will present “Beyond Access: Embedding Inclusivity in Museum Practice”.

As an autistic self-advocate and cultural heritage professional, Emily brings both lived experience and academic research into how museums can become more inclusive. Her work focuses on moving beyond basic accessibility towards creating spaces that truly welcome and support diverse audiences.

Her perspective reminds us that inclusion is not an add-on, it should be at the heart of museum practice.
