Beyond the Visual 2024-25

Autumn 2024 – Spring 2025

This Research Season explores engagements with contemporary sculpture using senses other than sight, challenging the dominance of sight in the making and appreciation of art.

Aiming to rethink not only the under-representation of blind and partially blind arts practitioners, we’ll investigate the relationship between artworks and audiences, the varied ways in which they can be experienced, and what is gained from creative practices that emphasise a broader approach to sensory experience.
