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
