In Touch With Art, an International Conference on Art, Museums and Visual Impairment
Wednesday 28th & Thursday 29th November 2007
The V&A, London
The first collaboration between St Dunstan's, The V&A and Goldsmiths College, In Touch With Art will investigate methods of teaching art to people with visual impairment, explore the experiences of practising artists with visual impairment, and identify how people with visual impairment engage and interact with visual art in gallery and museum environments.
The two-day conference will give delegates the opportunity to find out about models of best practice for the interpretation of the visual arts for a visually impaired audience. It will also look at the international perspective on this area, together with psychological processing and cognition through the senses, and draw together the personal, professional, physical and psychological experiences of artists, educators, and visitors with visual impairment.
The programme and booking information will be available shortly at: www.st-dunstans.org.uk
