  "The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD, 2016) foregrounds the importance of cultural participation to realise human rights for people with disabilities. The creative industries play a critical role in supporting and shaping these social attitudes towards inclusion. Through the theoretical foundation of Design for All (EIDD Stockholm Declaration, 2004) new engagement processes involving a transdisciplinary team from Australia and around the world converged at QUT to co-design more equitable and collaborative forms of knowledge and practice around inclusion. International universities, the EU Commission and the European Institute for Design & Disability collaborated and presented Design for All for the first time in Australia, positioning QUT leadership in this field and as the first non-European member of EIDD-DfA. Co-design methods were employed through, Vis-ability workshops, Making Visible workshops, tactile artefacts and audio description work in the VisAbility Exhibition. Innovative practice was through the Inclusive Film Screening and Wondrous Googles technologies. An innovative model of engagement was created through the DfA Week program and events across sectors. Knowledge was disseminated through academic articles."

• "Bree Hadley, Katherine Dionysius, Sarah Boulton (2019) Vis-Ability: Audio descriptions. In Vis-ability: Artworks from the QUT Art Collection. QUT Art Museum, Brisbane, Qld, pp. 45-53."
  "Bringing together a selection of recent acquisitions from the QUT Art Collection ,Vis-ability has been conceived as a project to broaden understanding of the lived experiences of people who are blind and people with low vision. Drawing on research in QUT's Creative Industries Faculty, Vis-ability proposes alternative ways of engaging with the collection, considering how technologies can deepen our understanding of vision and challenging our sight-driven experience of art. In this essay, QUT artist scholar and audio description author Associate Professor Bree Hadley, curator Katherine Dionysius, and blind artist and exhibition guide Sarah Boulton examine the principles, processes, and challenges of producing audio descriptions and associated engagement strategies to enable creative new forms of audio encounter with visual art works."
