Document details

This work presents a systematic review aimed at addressing exclusion in cultural access, especially for socially and/or intellectually vulnerable groups, in order to contribute to social inclusion and active participation. It proposes to diagnose factors of exclusion in cultural access, reflect on inclusion models, understand the role of culture in restructuring identity and autonomy, and identify best practices in intellectual and social accessibility. An exhaustive search was conducted in the Web of Science and Scopus databases, delving into 37 selected studies. These studies were categorized into five areas of analysis: Access to culture for people with disabilities, Cultural policies and participation (barriers and facilitators), Health and/or well-being and cultural participation, Cultural diversity and participation, and Access to culture for all. The main conclusions of the work underscore the promotion of inclusive and accessibility policies as fundamental pillars for an equitable society, which have an impact on improving public health, well-being, and the construction of cultural identities.
