The artworks are inspired by a multisensory art and storytelling workshop with blind and partially sighted east London residents which explored the senses of touch, sound, smell, and temperature. Through this work we encourage visitors to touch, feel, and explore the art and fully immerse in the environment.

“As artists we are visually centric and often don't think about touch as a way of interacting with art work. It would be a real pleasure for me to inspire people to explore art and the wider world through the sense of touch.”
Caroline Wright, Artist
“As a researcher, it has been wonderful to observe the symbiosis between different senses. I'm keen to explore how we can harness the power of technology to support disabled people's participation in art and creative work.”
Maryam Bandukda, Researcher
