3 JOURNEY'S explored and advanced the accessibility of playful media software through close collaboration with three disabled artists—Dr. Daniel Hajas, Prina Patel, and Danielle Garratt. Each artist created a prototype artwork inspired by an everyday journey shaped by their disability or assistive tools, offering unique insights into how they navigate the world. Our team provided expertise in immersive storytelling, creative software, and accessible design, supporting the artists as they developed their works. The project resulted in a short film, a detailed report, and prototype artworks, contributing to wider conversations about inclusivity and accessibility in the arts.

This project addressed the urgent need to improve access to playful media tools for disabled artists—a group that remains significantly underrepresented in digital creative industries. Research shows that disabled people make up over 20% of the UK population, yet they face persistent barriers to participation in arts and culture, with only 4% of workers in the creative industries identifying as disabled. Through this project, we worked with three disabled artists—Dr. Daniel Hajas, Prina Patel, and Danielle Garratt—to explore how playful media software can be made more inclusive. Each artist created a prototype artwork inspired by an everyday journey shaped by their disability, highlighting the diverse ways disabled people experience and navigate the world. Our team provided specialist guidance in software, immersive storytelling, and accessible design, collaborating closely to identify challenges and co-develop solutions. The outcomes—a short film, a published report, and exhibited artworks—aimed to spark meaningful change in how accessibility is understood and implemented within the arts sector.
