While we often think we primarily use sight to experience the world, our other senses—like hearing and touch—play crucial roles in how we interact and communicate. Nonvisual mediums are strong communication tools that harness these senses.
This project will explore best practices in nonvisual communication by visiting tactile exhibitions, interviewing experts, and creating our own nonvisual media like immersive art and virtual reality. In doing so, we may also start the discussion on how to make the Knight-Hennessy community more inclusive for current and future blind and low-vision scholars.
