Cross-Sensory
Art is for everyone – but not everyone appreciates it in the same way. Some museums are shifting toward an approach that aims to engage other sense such as touch, hearing, smell, and taste, increasing access and independence for individuals with visual impairments. The Art Gallery of Ontario and OCAD University’s Inclusive Design program have worked to co-design interpretive cross-sensory translations of visual artworks. A Cross-Sensory Translation of the AGO’s Jar of Apricots will explore how, in collaboration with blind and low-vision museum attendees, a cross-sensory translation of the oil painting was developed using 3D tactile objects and aural cues related to objects in the original work. If you are interested in experiencing visual art through all your sense, please join us Sunday at 12:00pm.
