How do we understand accessibility?
At Sintagma, we work from a perspective that brings together culture, rights, and participation. We understand accessibility as a collective process that expands rights and transforms the cultural experience.
Collective construction
We understand accessibility as a process built through dialogue. We work with diverse teams and encourage the participation of users to design relevant, meaningful solutions.
A rights-based perspective
Our work aims to expand opportunities for access, participation, and enjoyment of culture, promoting practices that recognize people's diversity.
Creative accessibility
Accessibility is also part of the experience itself. We design tools and content that are clear, sensitive, and creative, woven naturally into every project.
What's our story so far?
Since its founding, Sintagma has developed projects that aim to expand access to culture and strengthen accessibility practices across different fields.
Origin
Sintagma emerged from a thesis project exploring how to build accessibility into the creative process from the start. That work revealed real gaps in audiovisual accessibility in Uruguay.
First steps
We began working as independent professionals on different accessibility projects across culture and audiovisual production, including content developed for Ceibal.
SODRE National Ballet Season
We produced the audio description for the SODRE National Ballet's season, the team's first sustained project.
Audio Description at Carnival
We designed and developed the live audio description service for the Official Carnival Competition, which has continued in subsequent editions.
Consolidating the project
We carried out multiple accessibility projects across different cultural and audiovisual fields and established new working partnerships.
ANDE Semilla Program
Sintagma was selected for the ANDE Semilla program, a key boost toward growing and establishing itself as a leading organization in cultural accessibility.
What are we working toward?
At Sintagma, we work to make accessibility a natural, integral part of cultural and audiovisual production.
Expand access to culture
We want more people to fully take part in cultural life, expanding the opportunities for connection between works, audiences, and experiences.
Transform how things are produced
We advocate for accessibility to be considered from the earliest stages of cultural and audiovisual projects.
Strengthen the accessibility field
Through projects, consulting, and training, we work to support the professional development of this field.
How do we work?
Every project brings its own challenges. That's why we follow a methodology that combines analysis, technical development, and implementation.
We get into the project
We analyze the proposal, its context, and its goals, working closely with the team to identify the key aspects.
We find the best technical solution
We define the most suitable approach: designing resources, offering consulting, or running training processes.
We develop and implement
We carry out the defined actions, supporting the team throughout the entire process.
