KINGS Artist Run is hosting a series of public programs on inclusive practice in visual arts spaces. Each session is led by d/Deaf and disabled artists, offering diverse ways of viewing and understanding disability and how to incorporate these ideas into organisational culture. These sessions are open to all but are primarily aimed at gallery personnel, curators and artists.
Presented in collaboration with Open House Melbourne, this session will be a conversational workshop modelling creative approaches to visual description of artworks and exhibitions. These methods aim to increase access for those who are blind or have low vision, while also expanding the possibilities of reading an artwork.
