Ancient Disability Stories Workshop: Dwarfism
Were there people with dwarfism in ancient Greece? Where can we find them?

Join us for a free workshop led by Katarína Kompauerová, PhD researcher in Ancient History and Archaeology at the University of Leicester. Explore disability and difference in the ancient Greek world through fascinating objects and interactive activities. Discover the evidence for people with dwarfism in ancient Greece and what it can tell us about their lives and experiences, and share your thoughts on how museums can make diverse bodies and experiences more visible.
