Michael Naranjo, "He Howls Like a Wolf" (21a)	Michael Naranjo was totally blinded as a result of an injury he sustained from a grenade explosion in January, 1968 during combat in the Vietnam War. He has curated a touchable exhibition of his works to change the ways in which people, including those with visual disabilities, experience art. He believes that blindness, long perceived as the inability to appreciate visual artforms, should not prevent individuals from having an aesthetic experience.
