Audio Descriptive Tour of the JW Power exhibition

In this audio descriptive tour, Dr Lisa Andrew will guide you through the exhibition and discuss the work of this important but little-known Australian artist.

Participants in the workshop will begin with audio descriptions of artworks in the exhibition and then move on to strategically using tactile objects in the gallery where you will get the chance to handle materials related to the paintings. Participants are encouraged to engage in an informal discussion about the objects you are touching and hearing about.

The group will meet Lisa in the museum foyer.

Visitor advice: This exhibition reproduces an anti-fascist poster.

About your guide

Dr Lisa Andrew is an artist whose research-based practice and pedagogy centres on the potential of Audio Description for an inclusive audience by weaving close looking, writing and expression with access in mind. A multisensorial approach that does not privilege sight, which asks, what can museums do for Audio Description? And what can Audio Description do for writing about art and museum collections?
