Culture and Disability
Presented by ASEF Culture360, a new report by Jordi Balta Portoles titled Culture & Disability: Policies & Practices in Asia and Europe focuses on existing legislation, policies, programmes and projects in the field of culture and disability in the countries that are part of the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM).
The design of the publication cover features universal disability access symbols forming a map of Asia and Europe, denoting the innovative policy measures and case studies in the field of arts and disability in the 2 regions. The design of the pages within features a flexible 3-column grid with pull-quotes to enable the essential topics to be quickly read. The page numbers are halfed at the edges of each facing page, typographically alluding to the topic of disability.
