Excellent first week of my new exhibition. Had some great conversations with visitors.
Had a lengthy chat today about the layers and layers of accessibility we had to build in - including making our VR piece accessible to vision impaired users.
It's groundbreaking work that deserves attention.

Last week, I went to go visit @karlantmercer.bsky.social 's "At the End of History," at @dovermuseum.bsky.social and had a fantastic day out. The VR portion of the exhibit is like nothing I've ever experienced before. Highly urge everyone to see this exhibit before it closes. #DisHist

It has been a big month for CripAntiquity!
Early in the month, three of our board members hosted a panel at the CA conference (pictured below), and just this last weekend we had our first ever annual conference, which was a great success! (1/2)
