What do you see in the picture? What do you think this may be about?
This photo is from Boston, USA and there is an accompanying plaque that reads:
Design activists Brian Glenney, Sara Hendren and Tim Ferguson Sauder were unimpressed by how passive the wheelchair user looked in most symbols for wheelchair accessibility. Instead, they created their own icon and stickered accessibility signs across Boston, USA as an act of protest. They released their symbol free of charge and it is now used throughout the world.
- Where do you see the original sign used?
- What does passive mean?
- Why do you think Brian, Sara and Tim think the original symbol looks passive? Do you agree?
- Does the image on the sign matter?
- What do you think the aim was for Brian, Sara and Tim?
- The plaque says the sticker was an act of protest. What is an act of protest? Do you agree this is an act of protest?
- You could argue Brian, Sara and Tim are vandalising public property. Is this the right thing to do?
- why is this about no outsiders?
- Which British value is this about?
