Abstract

➡️ ZOOM LINK - https://us04web.zoom.us/j/79102614861?pwd=NWcydW9lcFNVUVZFYkcwblBNejFKQT09 ⬅️ How do you explain art to a person with visual impairments or total blindness? How then does this question become more complicated when tasked with explaining art to a child with visual impairments or total blindness? In this study I consider museum accessibility for blind or visually impaired visitors and further explore how the accessibility translates if the visitors are blind or visually impaired children.
