Symposium on inclusive interpretation and accessibility in the arts, with guest speakers and creative participation, marking MK Gallery's Sensory Engagement Partnership.
MK Gallery is hosting the Sensory Symposium on Friday 13 November, from 10am to 4pm. It's a day of talks and creative participation focused on sensory engagement in the cultural sector, aimed at anyone working in the arts, museums or disability sectors with an interest in inclusive interpretation, co-creation and accessibility.
The symposium is part of the gallery's two-year Sensory Engagement Partnership, which they've built with specialist practitioner Collar & Cuffs Co and their community partners, including adults with learning disabilities and young people with visual impairments. Together they've created public sensory responses to six major exhibitions, among them Andy Warhol: Portrait of America, Paz Errázuriz: Dare to Look and Euan Uglow: An Arc from the Eye. The day is a chance to hear about that work and how it came together.
Guest speakers include producer and curator Jennifer Gilbert of Jennifer Lauren Gallery, and artists from the Blue Room inclusive arts project at The Bluecoat in Liverpool. The project was made possible through an Art Fund Reimagine grant, with thanks to Engage.
