I hope this message finds you well.
I am reaching out to request your invaluable support in finding volunteers

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

arrange a light meal for all volunteers. I can also adapt to their

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
