Collaborative Audio Description

Using new and experimental techniques to describe, interpret and share experiences of sculpture.

Join us for this one-day workshop at Yorkshire Sculpture Park, as we pool our expertise and experience to collaboratively create new audio interpretations of artwork on display at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.

This workshop is open to blind, partially blind and sighted participants. Led by writer Joe Rizzo Naudi and artist and educator Sally Booth, both of whom are registered blind, the workshop will use new and experimental techniques to describe, interpret and share experiences of sculpture.

Return transport from central Leeds to Yorkshire Sculpture Park is provided, along with lunch and refreshments. Please ensure that you have appropriate clothing and footwear for outdoor activity.

This workshop is part of a three-year research project, Beyond the Visual: Blindness and Expanded Sculpture. The project, a collaboration between the Henry Moore Institute, Shape Arts and University of the Arts London, was the recipient of the inaugural Arts and Humanities Research Council Exhibition Fund. The project will culminate with a landmark 2025 exhibition at the Henry Moore Institute, foregrounding work by blind and partially blind artists.
