A synopsis:
“Self-expression in the fine arts for students with sensory differences is a topic that is gaining attention in a number of schools and museums.
This presentation provides a series of reflections of a mixed-method project You Don’t Need Eyes to See You Need Vision, that I designed and undertook between 2015 and 2019 which aimed to develop pedagogic practices, enhance learning experiences for students who are visually impaired and improve public awareness of the need for new practices.
The research highlighted and challenged a dominant approach in teaching and learning in the arts, the default reliance on the assumed primacy of the visual. In this presentation, I will explain two artistic research residencies that I have undertaken, the first in London in 2017 and the second in Malta in 2019. In both residencies, creative practitioners (both sighted and visually impaired) working across a variety of artistic disciplines including the visual arts, music and choreography, were invited to explore possible connections between vision impairment, verbal expression and verbal description, as well as the potential affective force of sound art.
In recognition of this work, I was a recipient of the University of Lincoln Best Practice Award in Promoting Equality in 2017.”
NOTE: Please note this is a closed group session. There are plans in the future for external participants to join these sessions.
