From our Eyes to our Ears - the Stories of Art (Pt 1/2)

Community Matters Media

An AT Chat and Community Matters Media Collaboration (Pt 1/2)

Through the following podcast: ‘From our Eyes to our Ears - the Stories of Art’ we explore the story-telling process with legally blind Art Describer Sarah Empey, as she sheds light on her personal experience. Through this episode, we aim to educate the audience about the impact of assistive technology on accessibility, art interpretation, and inclusivity.

We are connecting with AT Chat by focusing on the power of storytelling within the disability community, whilst highlighting the connection with peers, and how sharing assistive technology experiences provides valuable insights into usability and accessibility of specific tools for people with low vision.

If you want to discuss this episode further or any other queries about how we can work together, or collaborate on storytelling projects, get in touch on [email protected]
Stay tuned for the next episode in Season 4, as we build your capacity with Community Matters Media, #StayConnected and tell the stories that matter together.
