Thank you so much to everyone who spoke and attended today. We heard about so much brilliant practice and I came away inspired and hopeful for the future of museums.

Speaker Highlight for the #AccessInMuseumsConference at @leedsmuseums.bsky.social

@emilyautism.bsky.social will be delivering a workshop on the topic of creating accessible work places.

I really value having Emily there as a museum peer, neurodivergent peer and professional consultant.

A table of tubular objects that make interesting sounds. Above the objects is a sound board and headphones to listen to the object noises more closely

Art materials on a blank white canvas, including, pencils, art straws and oil pastels. In the centre is an orb with light. Next to the orb is a piece of modern art depicting metal spirals tubes and a globe.

Today I am exploring the artworks of Gordon Cain. We will be using sound, 3d and 2d materials to engage learners with the art in a sensory tangible way.

Welcome to Bluesky!

I've gained quite a few new followers recently so thought it was a good time to introduce myself!

Hello, I'm Emily 👋

I'm autistic and otherwise neurodivergent. I also have Fibromyalgia.

I am passionate about using my lived experience to support museums to become more accessible.

Our youth panel at #LeedsIndustrialMuseum made this beautiful panel on our flood wall. Their nature photography now a permanent part of our site.

Get a wiggle on!

Thanks for being at the stall. An incredible day. Most students we've ever had at our #CareersForAll career fairs and great support from all our #SEND partners.

Thank you. 💙

Do you ever get those days where something is coming and the night before you feel it. Not necessarily a bad feeling but an apprehensive one for sure.

That's me this evening. Careers fair tomorrow. The fair that has taken much of my work brain space this term.

Welcome 👋

Hope this is space feels better. I have done the same move across. Deciding if I should keep it as an archive or just delete it.

Leeds museums friends are surely everywhere!

Bluesky definitely feels like it's got momentum right now though.

My chest leaps. Beautiful 😍

Oooo. Room for one more?

I was able to deliver a tour of the discovery Centre for conference goers but couldn't go otherwise. I had to much booked in around careers week!
