Abstract
This study presents a project aimed at producing a video introducing the museum as a “performer” rather than a fixed position where disabled people are “specially” invited. We critically reconsidered the positioning of disabled people in museums using Robert McRuerʼs Crip Theory as a theoretical framework. During the video production, ten people, including disabled people, collaborated and were involved in the project in a participatory manner, engaging not only in the video appearance but also in discussions regarding the content. The completed 4-minute, 40-second video was posted on the official website of the Hiroshima Prefectural Art Museum. This study proposes a direction for art education research, positing that the relationship between disabled and non-disabled people changes according to the definition of disability and that the identity of disabled people should be understood in a structural context.
