Subject: Workshop for Blind and partially sighted people at ILFD
Hi there,
Hillary here from the International Literature Festival Dublin; I just wanted
to reach out to let you know about an upcoming event at this year's festival
that may be of interest to the Fighting Blindness network.
We would love your help in spreading the word! I've outlined details of the
event below.

Saturday 27 May, 13:00

Using tactile images and Braille, this workshop for Blind and partially sighted
people explores the art of poetry and poetic response.
Participants will be introduced to the popular poetic technique of Ekphrasis by
responding to tactile images produced in relief; we will also explore collage
poetry made using 3D-printed fragments of Braille. As we use the friction of
touch to explore new ways of experiencing poetry, participants will reflect on
their own response to the work and create their own tactile piece of poetry to
take home with them.
Presented as part of our specially curated #Friction series exploring ways of
breaking the boundaries of traditional literary forms.
There is very limited space at this workshop. I've attached imagery here that
can be shared on social media. If you're able to share or include the event in
an upcoming newsletter, we'd be most grateful.
Please let me know if you have any questions and hope to speak with you soon!
Hillary
