Barriers to cultural participation by people with disabilities: a qualitative investigation about Lollapalooza Brazil (2022)

This study examines the inclusion of people with disabilities at Lollapalooza (2022) based on the perspectives of digital influencers with disabilities. Despite the festival’s professed commitment to inclusivity, it falls short in accommodating these influencers, highlighting mobility and autonomy challenges due to accessibility issues, hindering their full participation. This study emphasizes superficial measures in fostering genuine inclusion and advocates for substantive efforts to ensure the participation and enjoyment of all individuals in public events and spaces.
