Alternative Interpretation – Quote about this artwork from a community member with lived experience of disability, D/deafness and/or neurodivergence. Given as part of the ‘Go as you Please’, Curating for Change, exhibition project: “Seeing that map makes me feel so nostalgic, it reminds me of going to visit my grandparents in Welwyn Garden City as a kid, the excitement of going from Peterborough to see them at the weekends. But funnily, if my assistance wasn’t there at Welwyn when we arrived, my Nan would shout across the line, across the East Coast Mainline, she’d shout across to the other platform, ‘Where’s the ramp?’ or something or other. It was just hilarious, my nan’s reaction, and then someone would always come running!”
