It will be a street art work to touch.
Friday November 5 at 6 p.m., a mural will be inaugurated at 12 rue de Cursol, in Bordeaux.
On the occasion of the 8th edition of the Fortnight of Equality, Diversity and Citizenship, the National Union of the Blind and Visually Impaired (Unadev) organized a collaboration between blind or visually impaired participants and the street art artist The Blind, in partnership with the Pôle Magnetic de Bordeaux association.
A collaborative and inclusive work
The association has chosen the creation of a wall fresco associating sighted, blind and visually impaired people around a work that voluntarily mobilizes the senses of touch and sight. This collective achievement symbolizes the need for mutual aid and sharing between able-bodied people and people with visual disabilities: to discover and give understanding of the work, it is all together that it becomes possible.
The idea is to introduce the general public to this fresco made up of painted elements and a tactile message in Braille.
The Blind is the only artist in the world to have developed an innovative concept that is graffiti for the blind.
"His work was born from the desire to make graffiti visible and readable to as many people as possible," writes Unadev in its press release.
He then developed a social vision of art, where seeing and blind mutually need each other, in order to be able to access and understand the work.
