Success Story of Art in the Dark
“Art in the Dark” is the 2nd WinVinaya Utsav event to enable an inclusive society. As you know, there are many myths/perceptions on what a person with disability can or cannot do. One is that Person with Visual Impairment cannot do Visual Arts. That is NOT necessarily true. There are pioneers with visual impairment who have created excellent visual arts.
Instead of just showcasing those pioneers and some of their work, we want to experiment and see for ourselves what a person with visual impairment CAN do in visual arts.
We partnered with Mitra Jyothi (NGO in Bangalore) for “Art in the Dark” project where their candidates with visual impairment, explored 3D objects around them by touch and feel method. Then WinVinaya gave them instructions, ideas, materials for them to create a visual painting to express how they perceived that object.
See the wonderful final outcome for yourself
