Wake This Ground at the Arnolfini, Bristol with Audio Description…

Bristol’s International Centre for Contemporary Arts, The Arnolfini, this summer and into the autumn will be offering an immersive exhibition of sensory delights with 'Forest: Wake This Ground’ which is also accessible to blind and partially sighted people through audio described recordings, tours and events.

RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey caught up with Keiko Higashi, Engagement Producer at the Arnolfini to find out more about ‘Forest: Wake This Ground’ and how they are making it accessible to blind and partially sighted people.

Keiko began by giving Toby a bit of history and background to the Arnolfini and why they have done and continue to offer access through audio described tours and events for blind partially sighted people. 

Keiko then talked about some of the work from the many Artists who’s work is on display at the Arnolfini before giving a run down of some some highlighted work and of course all the audio described tours and events too. 

‘Forest: Wake This Ground’ is on at the Arnolfini in Bristol until 3 October 2022 and more details along with info about audio described can be found by visiting -
