DEC 6th WEEK 14   OPENING UP GALLERIES FOR THE BLIND AND PARTIALLY SIGHTED

In this special half evening we consider the rights and needs of all people to access creative exhibition spaces.  At the moment, this process is in its infancy, but many people and organisations are striving to improve access and enjoyment for all.

Here are some of the questions we are going to consider:

  • Why do you enjoy exhibitions?
  • How would you feel going to an exhibition with limited sight?
  • What strategic issues are important?
  • How are galleries addressing these issues?
  • How can we enrich peoples experience of specific creative works?

Now its members turn, to try and write a description of a creative photographic work to aid understand and emotional attachment of the listener.  It is not as easy as it sounds!
