Beyond vision : recent workshops at the Whitechapel

The Whitechapel Art Gallery has been building on earlier success with Touch Workshops (from 1987) to include visually impaired visitors in activities for all exhibitions. A small and dedicated interest group now meets regularly to share the experience of learning from art objects in all forms. Through a variety of approaches it has been found that ideas and concepts in the works can be appreciated even without the full experience of their visual qualities. Most participants wish to expand their horizons in art and these sessions aim to include two-dimensional work in a limited way. The feedback gained suggests that the exercise is worthwhile and is a great stimulus to the visual memory.
