In partnership with Loom Arts and Management, we are thrilled to be offering a free audio described tour with tactile elements for our current exhibition Tina Stefanou – You Can’t See Speed.

Coinciding with Cassar’s journey of riding dirt bikes in high performance contexts, this video work follows Cassar along a surrealist voyage of adrenalin and self-actualisation. Accompanying the film is a large-scale, site-specific stunt ramp and an immersive soundscape which weaves through a labyrinth of installations, video works and sculptures spanning the entire gallery.

Join us on Saturday May 24th from 11:45am for a free audio described and tactile tour of the exhibition led by Zoe Boesen from Loom. This will include live audio description of the 17 minute film featuring Cassar, followed by a guided tour of the entire exhibition, combining visual descriptions with key information about the art works, and opportunities to touch elements of the installations and sculptures.

Designed in consultation with the blind and low-vision community, this tour will be informal, accessible in content and allow for self-directed exploration. Volume of the soundscape will slightly be reduced for the informative part of the tour (roughly 1hr) followed by the option to revisit artworks of interest at full volume. We would like people to engage in the tour however works best for them. This could mean coming and going throughout, engaging in conversation or just listening to the information.

Whilst this tour has been designed with the blind and low-vision community in mind, it is open to all disability community members who may benefit.

Please feel free to get in touch with us if you have any questions.

A large silver ramp supported by metal scaffolding curves around the back of the room, from the floor on the left to almost ceiling height on the right. In front of the ramp to the right, a large rectangular screen is suspended from the ceiling. It shows a person riding a white motorcycle outdoors, with white protective clothing and helmet. Overlaid text reads "AUDIO DESCRIBED TOUR." There are white logos for Loom and ACCA at the bottom of the image.
