Hi All:
See the below e-mail from Leia Mocan - her contact details

I hope this message finds you well.
I am reaching out to request your invaluable support in
finding volunteers willing to share their experiences and perspectives for
our innovative and inclusive art exhibition, "Mass of Darkness." We are
looking for four blind, four visually impaired, and four sighted individuals
who are open to being interviewed ahead of the exhibition opening on
Wednesday, 18th October, at D-Light Studio.
Participation Details:
* Purpose: The interviews will be showcased in a
continuous loop throughout the exhibition, concluding on 27th October.
* Contribution: This opportunity allows participants to
actively contribute and have their voices heard, thereby adding immense value
to the exhibition.
* Acknowledgement: Participants will receive public
recognition for their invaluable input and insights, enhancing the depth and
reach of the exhibition.
Support for Volunteers:
To facilitate participation, I am willing to coordinate
transportation and arrange a light meal for all volunteers. I can also adapt
to their schedules as I will be available at the venue throughout the day.
Given your extensive network and understanding of the
community, your assistance in forwarding this email to suitable candidates
would be highly beneficial. Please find the detailed exhibition overview
below for reference.
Exhibition Overview:
* Title: Mass of Darkness

Dublin 1, D01 K2Y1)
* Date & Time of the Interviews: Wednesday, 18th

diverse perspectives and experiences of the volunteers will enhance the

Thank you very much for considering this request and for your

Additional information on the event:
Centre for Creative Practices, alongside D-Light Studios, is
excited to unveil "MASS OF DARKNESS", a groundbreaking exhibition by visual
artist Leia Mocan. This initiative strives to forge a deeper connection and
dialogue around inclusivity and accessibility, particularly focusing on
individuals with visual impairments.
Exhibition Overview:
"MASS OF DARKNESS" offers an immersive, interactive
sculptural series, stepping away from the paradigm of visual aesthetics to
create a tactile experience. Visitors will explore art in an environment
shrouded in darkness, allowing an emphasis on senses other than sight and
promoting a unique perception and appreciation of artistic expression.
Constructed using upcycled materials, this exhibition not
only challenges preconceived notions of visual art but also promotes
sustainability and environmental consciousness.
Inclusivity and Accessibility:
This interactive-sensory work is meticulously curated to
resonate with organizations championing the rights and inclusivity of the
visually impaired and blind community. The experiential journey is a step
towards fostering understanding, empathy, and awareness and serves as an
innovative platform for dialogue on inclusion and accessibility.
Invitation:
We warmly invite organizations and individuals advocating for
the visually impaired and blind community to join us at the exhibition
opening on Thursday, 19th October, from 6 pm at D-Light Studio (46 North
Great Clarence Street Dublin 1, D01 K2Y1).
By attending "MASS OF DARKNESS", you will support a
transformative artistic endeavor that merges sensory experiences, inclusive
design, and artistic innovation. We believe that this exhibition will serve
as a cornerstone for future collaborations and discussions aimed at enhancing
accessibility and inclusivity in the world of art.
We look forward to welcoming you and engaging in meaningful
conversations about expanding the realms of inclusivity and accessibility in
artistic expressions.
Warm regards,
Leia Mocan
Visual Artist
