Functional considerations:
     Yes, the traffic flow has been considered.  Bottleneck problems could only happen at the entrance of this small gallery.  It is literally a bottleneck entrance, and would of course need to have several people entering at one time to create a problem.
     All exhibition materials within the art is found, or antique objects that on their own seem durable, but in the construction of the piece I really could not say.  Looks like it is durable.
     Because the sculptural pieces approximately two to three feet tall and observed on pedestals 18 to 36 inches tall and the labeling discretely to lower left, all seemed comfortable to me.
     The positioning of all the pieces seemed uncluttered and spacious to me and inviting to anyone with a disability.  Naturally, if someone were to trip on their own shoelace and stumble into a piece then yes disaster could happen.  But most entrants are mindful of the fact they are going into an area that command a measure of respect, I believe.
     I believe the chosen typography is easy enough to read, because I am used to it.

Formal considerations:
     I think of the aesthetic value of the typography is legible and effective.  Neither detracting or complementing the pieces they are informative and subtle.
     The visual components in this exhibition were placed in such a fashion that the flow from one to another could happen seamlessly.  At first you come in contact with  Old Glory, your eye picks up the same colors within a nearby piece, and the relationship of pieces to one another helps to move a person along.  Front and back are singularly appointed a light and area that that says prominence. This one way to achieve hierarchy.
     Visual style is a constant within this particular show.

Conceptual consideration:
     Overall message, women of color particularly are on unstable ground in the world.
     I believe that this exhibition has a linear sequence just by virtue of the set up and entrance.
     It is an effective sequence.

Visitor Observation:
     The most and least popular aspects of this exhibition for under 25 visitors, maybe not having any kind of cultural awareness, but I really do not know.
     The most and least popular aspects of this exhibition for over 25 visitors, maybe having more cultural awareness, but again I really do not know.
     The experience of the art is both individual and shared, but that would be dependent on the excitement felt and ability to communicate.
     Seating would be the only change, I would have some (one at least).
