Abstract
Central to the purpose of a museum is communicating with their audiences about their collections. Within the AHRC-NEH funded project (AH/W005549/1) we developed the Workshop for Inclusive Co-created Audio Description (W-ICAD). W-ICAD provides museums with a new tool for supporting communication with audiences. It does this by redefining the way that museums think about and produce digitally available recorded audio description (AD). AD is often described as a verbal description for information available through vision. It is a key tool for blind and partially blind audiences who would like to experience museum collections. In both the UK and US, museums are legally obliged to ensure equitable access to their collections. However, museums need to dramatically increase AD provision both within museums and online.
Building on opportunities afforded by the digital revolution, W-ICAD provides museums with a new, equitable and inclusive way to co-create AD. It provides both a theoretical rationale and a practical process that will transform museum digital audio interpretation for use within the museum (often via a mobile phone) or online. W-ICAD transforms thinking by drawing on evidence from psychology and neuroscience to refute three key implicit biases that underpin current museum AD practice: (1) 'experience' through sight is objective; (2) AD is only beneficial to blind or partially blind people; and (3) full sight provides people with a privileged experience of visual arts, and therefore sighted people must do the describing for blind and partially blind listeners. W-ICAD transforms practice by providing museums with a model for producing AD that redefines how museum AD is created, who it is for, and who does the describing: subjectivity and the lived experience of the describers is embraced; descriptions are created equally for blind, partially blind and sighted audiences; description is led by partially blind co-creators, in collaboration with blind and sighted co-creators. Through W-ICAD, we have transformed the ways in which museum collections can be experienced by audiences (in museums and online).
This follow-on impact and engagement funding will enable us to embed W-ICAD into museum practice, whilst extending its reach within the museum and heritage sector. We will work with 8 flagship W-ICAD museums, across the UK and US, to make inclusive co-created audio description a standard part of their communication with audiences. The partners include: globally-leading national organisations (National Science and Media Museum, UK; Imperial War Museum Duxford, UK; National Museums Liverpool, UK; Natural History Museum, UK; Smithsonian Institution, US); Medium - large size museums (Eiteljorg Museum, US & Wexner Center for the Arts, US) and Small organisations (Heurich House, US). With these sector partners, we will expand W-ICAD to incorporate:
- description of different environments (including exterior), different artworks (including abstract) and museum objects
- co-created audio description for multisensory experience including describing tactile exploration
- different lived experiences (e.g.intersectionality, diverse cultural backgrounds) within museum interpretation
- guidance for W-ICAD to support co-creators to ethically and sensitively describe diversity
To maximise the reach of W-ICAD, and to ensure its legacy, we will work with our flagship museums to create an open access online W-ICAD training course for museum professionals, AD practitioners and stakeholders. This will enable other museums across the world to implement W-ICAD within their interpretation strategy for digital AD (available within the museum or online). The promotion and implementation of this model within museum practice will strengthen awareness of the ableist biases within current practice and enhance equity, diversity and inclusion within the museum sector and beyond.

| Title | Ensemble exhibition |
| Description | The Ensemble exhibition, curated by Hettie James and Stephanie Farmer, explored creative Audio Description as a collaborative art form and accessible communication tool, challenging audiences to experience artworks with their minds in an audio-based group exhibition. The exhibition took 6 artworks, and trained the artists to create an audio description of their artwork, and worked with a group of audio describers, led by partially blind writer and describer, Joe Rizzo Naudi, who produced creative audio descriptions of the artwork. In the final experience, the descriptions of the artworks, one by the artist and one by the collective of describers, became the artworks. The original pieces were not exhibited. |
| Type Of Art | Artistic/Creative Exhibition |
| Year Produced | 2024 |
| Impact | This exhibition, supported by Arts Council England, was influenced by W-ICAD in two ways. Firstly through conversations between Eardley and James and Farmer, and secondly, through the involvement of Joe Rizzo Naudi. Joe was a participant in one of the W-ICAD sessions at the Watts Gallery and Artist Village. He used his experience in W-ICAD to both impact on the way in which the artists created their description, and drew on the creative inclusive process used in W-ICAD for the descriptions he led. I was also invited to include an introduction to the exhibition, which was printed on the wall and was included as an audio file in the audio guide for the exhibition. |

| Title | Inclusive audio descriptive for the Wildlife Photographer of the Year Exhibition (2024-25) |
| Description | These audio files feature descriptions of the award-winning images from the sixtieth Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition. Their co-creation was underpinned by the W-ICAD model, specifically drawing on the question and suggestion session in the model. They were co-created this year by sighted curators at the museum, drawing on the subjective and experiential approach to audio description proposed within W-ICAD. |
| Type Of Art | Artistic/Creative Exhibition |
| Year Produced | 2024 |
| Impact | This is the inclusive audio guide, and for the first time makes this exhibition accessible to blind and partially blind audiences. It is designed to be experienced by all museum audiences. |

| Title | National Paralympic Heritage Trust |
| Description | Inclusive co-created audio descriptions, created through W-ICAD sessions with a pan-disabled group of co-creators, are now incorporated into the galleries of the NPHT digital museum. There are currently 16, but they are in the process of creating more so that all of their will be produced using the W-ICAD co-creation model. They also have a 'tour' through the galleries, for which all audio interpretation is based on W-ICAD sessions. |
| Type Of Art | Artistic/Creative Exhibition |
| Year Produced | 2023 |
| Impact | Testimony from Emily Toettcher, Head of Programmes, NPHT: "We have been working with Hannah, Lindsay and the team since early 2024. Our work together has focused on co-curated audio descriptions for the development of a series of new digital galleries related to national Paralympic and disability sports histories. We began with a series of workshops, involving a wide range of staff and volunteers from our team, from local partner museums and we recruited visually impaired people through local networks. These workshops focused on curating objects which had been 3D scanned. This autumn, we reviewed what had worked well and what we could improve. Fundamentally, we have shifted to starting with co-curated audio descriptions; written labels are then based on these, rather than the other way round. We have worked with a much smaller group of people, but the same people have been involved in the curation and editing, which has helped with consistency. We've also tried to work with objects which all the participants could touch, which enhances the experience for everyone. We have really enjoyed the process and have found the results to be richer, more interesting and thought provoking than audio description we were previously producing. It feels truly collaborative, giving a range of people the opportunity to contribute. I particularly value the way the process brings feelings, emotions, memories and senses to the fore." |

| Title | Natural History Museum Urban Natures Project, Young People's guide: A poetic response |
| Description | As part of the Urban Nature Project, the Natural History Museum (NHM) created two audio guides. One was a standard audio descriptive guide, but for the second guide they wanted a co-created experience that drew on the young people. They wanted to work with blind and partially blind young people, and influenced by the W-ICAD project, the end result was a descriptive poetic response, co-created by the young people. This audio guide is on the NHM website. |
| Type Of Art | Artistic/Creative Exhibition |
| Year Produced | 2024 |
| Impact | We began talking to Theo Blossom and Harriet Fink, who were responsible for the creation of the Young Peoples Guide, for the Urban Nature Project (Natural History Museum), in 2022. They attended the W-ICAD seminar in London, and then took part in W-ICAD training in January 2024. We also supported them in the recruitment of the young people who were involved. This is a testimony from Harriet Fink, Urban Nature Project: Learning and Volunteering Programme Manager, about the impact of W-ICAD on their work: "Having the W-ICAD model and training to draw from was fundamental to us being able to co-create elements of our new audio guide with blind and partially sighted people, informing both our thinking and practice. It enabled us to have a methodology on which to draw and the research thinking to make decisions from. We used it to structure the sessions so they started from sensory exploration and then widened to contextual information, and the information on why it is so vital that audio guides include content created by and for blind and partially sighted people has been useful in advocating for future projects and showing the rationale for our project. The model, training and early dissemination also gave us confidence we were on the right track with our project idea and how to create a project with an audience we were not very experienced in working with. In a sector (Museums) that often struggles to engage blind and partially sighted audiences or to run co-creation projects the W-ICAD model is really important and needed. I am very thankful for the team and their generosity in sharing their expertise and learning and really would have struggled to do the project without their help and the resources they have shared and created.

| Description | This award has resulted in a revised W-ICAD model, and the framework for running it for museum professionals, making it suitable for us by all types of museum and heritage organisations. We have developed an in-person training method, which has now been run with 11 museums across the UK and the US. We have also created a free online W-ICAD training course that is now freely available for use by museum professionals, professional audio describers and cultural sector professionals around the world. |
| Exploitation Route | The W-ICAD online training course provides museum professionals with the tools that they need to be able to implement the W-ICAD model into their practice. The course is being completed, and the feedback is entirely positive at this stage. |

| Description | The W-ICAD model (and the in-person training) impacted on the way in which the Young Peoples Guide was developed by the Natural History Museum for their Urban Nature Project. The principles of W-ICAD model also impacted on the creation of the inclusive audio descriptive guide for the Wildlife Photographer of the Year Exhibition (2024-5). Following the in-person training, National Museums Liverpool have also drawn on the principles of W-ICAD to transform their audio guides into inclusive audio descriptive guides. Audio descriptive interpretation developed from the W-ICAD model has been implemented by the National Paralympic Heritage Trust in their Global Digital Gallery. Training on running the W-ICAD sessions has transformed their practice in relation not only to audio description, but also to the way they are interpreting disability history. |

| Geographic Reach | Multiple continents/international |
| Policy Influence Type | Contribution to new or improved professional practice |
| Impact | The W-ICAD model challenges systemic ableist biases within the practice of museum audio interpretation, by challenging a) the assumption that sighted people only need their vision to access museum collections and b) audio description should be created by sighted people for blind audiences, and c) that audio description should be objective. These are significant conceptual shifts for the museum sector. As a result of this model, and the associated training, museums including: Natural History Museum, National Paralympic Heritage Trust and National Museums Liverpool are already actively changing the way in which they create audio interpretation. Other museums are building on their in-person training and are building in revised practice into planned re-developments of their museums (including Horniman Museum and Galleries, Imperial War Museums Duxford, Heurich House Museum (US) and Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art (US). The work is also influencing the practice of creative practitioners, as evidenced by the Ensemble Exhibition. |

| Impact | The W-ICAD model enables museums to move away from traditional ableist access practices, which have segregated those with access needs away from the assumed 'normative' majority. It does this by giving them a practical tool and process that they can use to co-create audio description with blind, partially blind and sighted co-creators. It redefines the purpose of audio descriptive by drawing on evidence from psychology, cognitive neuroscience, critical disability studies and museum studies to challenge the assumption of that 'normative' core audience. It therefore proposes that inclusive audio description, underpinned by multisensory experience and description and embracing subjectivity and positionality, is for all audiences. As such, it enables museums to replace the two tier system of a 'standard' audio guide and an audio descriptive guide, and instead to provide one single audio descriptive guide that will benefit all audiences. The museum staff took part in this training so that they could take the learning and the new approach into both their temporary exhibitions. They are now planning to apply this to their programming and to their permanent exhibitions. |

| Impact | The online W-ICAD course launch on 14th January 2025 was attended by over 60 people, and the course currently has 79 people signed up.There are 7 modules, and it is suggested that people aim to do one or two a week. Of those that have left feedback, participants are from the US, UK and Europe. People range from museum professionals, to professional audio describers, to copywriters and art therapists. The feedback has been unanimously positive, with comments including: "I've learnt so much and it's developed thinking and knowledge I had around intersectionality too. I've also found it creatively inspirational and I can't wait to put more creative AD into my life and work. I'd be very happy to be involved in future projects and research with WI-CAD. Thank you all for offering this as a free training and for all your hard work in putting it together. It's much appreciated." And: "I deeply appreciate the approach this model takes in creating descriptions. I believe W-ICAD is truly an incredible step forward for museums. The implementation of W-ICAD in any museum would significantly enhance its offerings." And: "I still can't believe I got to take it for free, and I'm so grateful. I might think that I'd have to experience a full W-ICAD workshop process in full to understand it, but this curriculum was so well designed that I really understand it well. Because I can download all the materials you provided, I have notes I can always refer back to as I start to incorporate pieces of this process into my work. Bravo, team!" |

| PI Contribution | We contributed through early initial discussions and in-person training on the W-ICAD model, both at the London cite (Jan 2024) and at the Natural History Museum (NHM) at Tring (July 2024). W-ICAD directly impacted on the development of the audio guide for the Urban Nature Project (UNP). The poetic responses co-created with blind and partially blind young adults was built on the principles of W-ICAD. The audio descriptive guide for the Wildlife Photographer of the Year Exhibition (2024-5) was underpinned by the W-ICAD principles, and was co-created through conversation following the W-ICAD training of staff. We carried out an evaluation of the process of the creation of the UNP young people's guide, and will be carrying out an evaluation of the impact of the AD created on audiences. |
| Collaborator Contribution | The museum have contributed their staff time and resources to the creation of the audio guide for the UNP, and they the creation of their guide for the Wildlife Photographer of the Year Exhibition (2024-5). They are also paying for the evaluation of the audio guides that they created using W-ICAD. |
