Résumé
This study investigates the impact of cultural policies on performing arts attendance among individuals with disabilities in Chile, highlighting how accessibility, sociodemographic factors, and institutional practices shape cultural participation. Drawing on data from the 2017 National Survey of Cultural Participation in Chile (N = 12,151), this research employs quantitative analysis to explore barriers faced by people with disabilities. Our findings underscore the limited efficacy of current policies in promoting inclusivity within the performing arts sector in Chile. We argue that without targeted policy reforms aimed at improving accessibility and fostering inclusivity, cultural institutions will continue to marginalize individuals with disabilities. The study contributes to the discourse on inclusive policy, advocating for systemic changes to create equitable opportunities for cultural engagement and strengthen the commitment to diversity and inclusion within Chile’s cultural landscape.
