Join Dr Lisa Andrew for an audio-described tour of Migrating Modernism: The Architecture of Harry Seidler for visitors who are blind or have low vision, and their guests.
Through detailed descriptions and discussion, Lisa will guide participants through this fascinating exhibition, exploring the life, work, and legacy of one of Australia's most influential architects.
Participants in the workshop will begin with audio descriptions of artworks in the exhibition and using tactile objects in the gallery where you will get the chance to handle materials related to the exhibition.
This interactive tour is designed to encourage conversation, sensory exploration, and a deeper understanding of the exhibition.
The group will meet Lisa in the museum’s foyer.
Dr Lisa Andrew is an artist whose research-based practice and pedagogy centres on the potential of Audio Description for an inclusive audience by weaving close looking, writing and expression with access in mind. A multisensorial approach that does not privilege sight, which asks, what can museums do for Audio Description? And what can Audio Description do for writing about art and museum collections?
