Accessibility for Individuals with Disabilities in Arts and Culture: Discussion
Ms Clare McLaughlin:
I thank the Deputy for his questions. The audience for Seen-Unseen has grown through the pandemic and it is now reaching three continents. We have visually impaired people tuning in. However, from the Seen-Unseen research and development, I know it is important to include the tactile elements so I post out a tactile pack to each of the participants in advance.
Technology is great but the physical element of touch and embodied experience is also very important.
