• "Bree Hadley, Janice Rieger (2021) Co-designing choice: objectivity, aesthetics and agency in audio-description. Museum Management and Curatorship, 36(2), pp. 189-203.”
  "The ‘Vis-ability’ exhibition, presented at the QUT Art Museum in 2019 was an exhibition curated with clear social inclusion goals from the outset. Through it, the museum sought to develop innovative, cost effective, and readily replicable techniques to allow blind and low vision visitors and artists to engage with the institution and its collections. The results affirm the benefits of offering blind and low vision visitors a spectrum of engagement choices, and also affirm that blind and low vision artists and visitors have capacity to make a critical contribution in co-designing that spectrum of choices. This exhibition and its use of multisensorial elements offers a useful prompt to museums to engage this community more fully in co-designing inclusion in the future."

• "Anthony White (2021). Anthony Mannix's mixed realities. Art Monthly Australasia, (327), pp. 80-87."
  The Australian artist Anthony Mannix has produced a large body of work, mostly in the form of artist books. His art has featured in dozens of exhibitions; has been the subject of catalogues, journal articles and a PhD thesis; and has entered national and international collections. One of his most recent works, the dazzling, vibrantly decorated 2020 cover of I Am Cut Viciously, features a harrowing self-portrait of the artist. The work depicts Mannix with injuries he sustained while in 'a psychotic state' during a period in 1986 when he was homeless and living in the Royal National Park, New South Wales. As an artist with experience of complex mental health issues, or what he prefers to describe as 'mixed realities', Mannix has often been categorised as an 'outsider' artist.
