Developing theme of contemporary photography, The Garage Center for
Contemporary Culture supported an offer from the Open Theatre charity project
and Flacon design-factory to discuss an untrivial point of view on
photography.
Seeing with Photography Collective (SWPC) is a group of photographers
based in New York City who are visually impaired or blind. Coming from diverse
backgrounds and life experiences, these artists share an awareness of sight
loss, along with the determination to dialogue and integrate their images into
a more universal context. During this unique interactive lecture, SWPC will
demonstrate how their technique of ‘light painting’ helps to create images of a
blind viewers inner world, and experience the world as if sighted.
Organizer: Open Theatre charity project.
Limited places, booking is essential. Please e-mail rsvp@garageccc.com with
your full name and date chosen.
Lectures of SWPC are a part of a Sight Unseen project – an exhibition
of works by blind photographers from California Museum of Photography
at Flacon design factory, December 3-16, 2010.
