An International Conference on Inclusive Digital Innovation in Arts and Culture

The Fremantle Biennale and DADAA will co-present the first access and digital technologies symposium of its kind in Western Australia. This two-day international conference convenes leading researchers, technologists, artists, cultural practitioners, and advocates to explore cutting-edge developments in digital technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) to expand accessibility within the arts and cultural landscape.

Held at the WA Maritime Museum, the symposium will feature a dynamic lineup of international, local and national speakers, visitors and organisations. It will create space for critical conversation, practical demonstrations and peer-to-peer exchange, foregrounding innovations that advance accessibility, equity, and meaningful inclusion—particularly for individuals with disability and those from marginalised or underrepresented communities.

Through a dynamic program of keynote presentations, panel discussions, interactive workshops, and pioneering projects, the conference seeks to critically examine the intersection of technology, culture, and social justice. It aims to foster cross-disciplinary dialogue and catalyse the co-creation of inclusive digital futures that democratise cultural participation and expression.

Critical Conversations: Art, Access & the Digital Now will highlight both emerging innovations and persistent barriers, aspiring to inform practice and reimagine the cultural landscape as a space of equal opportunity, creativity, and belonging for all.
