Today we discuss art and ability. Intoart, founded by our guest Ella Ritchie, is an art and design studio that collaborates with people with learning disabilities, creating beautiful and thought-provoking pieces. Henry Ward is the former Head of Education at the Southbank Centre and currently is the creative director at the Freelands Foundation, whose mission is to support artists and cultural institutions to broaden audiences for the visual arts.

On the agenda: diversity in the art and design world, what it might take for museums and galleries to be more inclusive, and the perennial question – what is art, and who decides?
