The Sight of Emotion project is designed to celebrate blind photography, aiming to empower visually impaired communities to build a dialogue with sighted people.
It works by creating awareness and educating about the needs and experiences of visually impaired people.
The participants are encouraged to use other senses to help them produce a good image, for example using their hearing to judge the location of an object and touch and smell to discover the object.
The organisation works on the philosophy that although the participants cannot see the photograph, they can understand and feel what they want to communicate through an image.
Beyond Sight is the latest in a line of public art on show at the School, which includes the Shifting Perspectives Exhibition, designed to challenge misconceptions surrounding the diagnosis of Down’s syndrome, as well as paintings produced by female Pakistani artists living in Wales.
The exhibition is open on weekdays 9 am – 5 pm.
