We are thrilled to partner with the National Gallery of Victoria for two exciting events highlighting the lived experiences of people who are blind or have low vision alongside the work of Vision Australia.
The interactive events share real people’s every-day stories and their honing of alternative senses, and the way they learn to use assistive technology and life hacks to facilitate a new-found independence.
These events are part of the Melbourne Now art and design exhibition.
