Tactile painting is a brand new experience for everyone to enjoy art -- and is essential for the people with visual impairment to access the visual information. We have invited the Beyond Vision Projects to deliver touchable self-portrait workshops and story-telling workshops for you to make your own tactile painting. Each workshop session lasts for around 45 minutes for a small group of 6 people. Enroll a session by clicking the Sign Up button below while walk-ins will be entertained only if seats are available. You will collect your artwork after the workshop at the enquiry counter.

 

The Hong Kong Society for the Blind is also with us to show you how people without sight live with some of their daily challenges as they read, whatsapp and pay! The experiential activities will definitely bring you some insights into the creativity of people with different abilities!

 

Come with your peers to have a new experience on how people with visual impairment access art and information! Participants will get the GREEN stamp for redeeming a limited edition tote bag.totebag

 

How does the stamp collection game work?

During the festival, participants will be given a different color stamp by taking part in the booth games on each day. By collecting three different color stamps, participants can redeem a tote bag specially designed for showing your support to students with special educational needs.
