The word “inclusivity” has generally been limited to very specific social aspects, such as gender, ethnic equality, or economic equity. However, one sector of the population is often left out of the discussion in museums and cultural activities: deaf and blind people. In Costa Rica, Law 7600 addresses freedom of access and movement for people with special needs, considering infrastructure dimensions and specifications. But when we talk about interaction with the environment, it is imperative to go beyond physical access, especially when we talk about democratizing heritage. Democratizing is not just about reaching remote places or improving physical access, but also about reaching people who feel excluded because of their health condition.
