The residency for women with disabilities takes place in our apartment in Kunsthaus Lisa with access to the gallery house . Our apartment is particularly suitable for people with disabilities, it is at ground level, has no thresholds, has a ramp at the entrance, there are handles in the bathrooms and by the toilet and a shower that is at ground level. There is also a wheelchair-accessible stove. Unfortunately, the door to the bathroom is a little too narrow, so you can’t get into the bathroom with a wheelchair, but there are plenty of handles to hold on to, toilet holder, shower without access. Wheelchair users only need to be able to stand up a little, which is why we call it barrier-free. The artists agree to the publication of their names and works on our homepage.
