Audiodescrição para imagens estáticas

Abstract

The growing use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in all sectors of society means that more and more videos and images are present in our lives, but often without the competition of accessible resources, intended for people with disabilities and/or learning difficulties. Among the possibilities that can help with accessibility, audio description stands out. This work aims to build and make available to the public the audio description of 18 works from the Murilo Mendes 25 Years Collection, which were on display in 2022 at the Murilo Mendes Museum, in Juiz de Fora/MG. Data analyzes were carried out using a qualitative approach based on the principles of audio description of static images. The results revealed that audio description is an accessibility resource that, in its multiple concepts, has contributed to the social inclusion of people with disabilities in the most varied cultural spaces, and also allows people with disabilities access to public cultural spaces, such as , a visit to museums. Therefore, audio description promotes the protagonism of subjects in their mobility, thus allowing an encounter with culture through the understanding of artistic works made available to the public, especially to people with visual impairments. Thus, this work showed how to promote inclusion and encouragement of social and cultural spaces by adapting the 18 audio-described works to welcome people with disabilities in museums, allowing art the possibility of finding an open door in everyone to be surprised, to be thrilled, and ready to discover the various paths of our History.
