Sightless Seeing (series of performances)
An ongoing series of performances by artist Sarah van Lamsweerde
The Sightless Seeing series is part of a long-term project addressing a multi-sensory approach to experience art and culture. Most performances take place in Museums or other art contexts, engaging with the instability of what art may be: vulnerable yet powerful; provocative to some, invisible to others.
In collaboration actor Leroy de Böck and heritage specialist and performer Alicia Hoost, both sight-impaired.
The most recent project in this iteration is a tactile video-installation created by artist Janneke Raaphorst in collaboration with a local community in Amsterdam Zuid-Oost and partner Poetry Circle. See a short excerpt of the video with audiodescription here: https://www.poetrycircle.nl.
