Christie s to offer paid internships to students with disabilities

The new scheme is part of a broader move to make Christie s more welcoming to those with disabilities © Yomex Owo Those of us who are able-bodied are fortunate enough to move through the world unimpeded by the everyday irritants that those with disabilities face those few steps into a gallery, a lack of braille descriptions for the visually impaired and inaccessible loos everywhere from auction houses to restaurants. Back in 2019, the auction house set up an Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) committee and one member of that group is Christie s senior specialist for prints and multiples, Alexandra Gill, who herself was born with a physical disability that effects her balance and mobility. I think it s so important to speak more about disabilities, there s some much focus on other areas of EDI, Gill says. I think many people are afraid to talk about disability. There s a fear of getting it wrong, using the wrong terms.
