Relaxed Opening - Still I Rise With Vision West Of England

A tour of Still I Rise designed for the Visually Impaired community. Companions and guide dogs are welcome.

In partnership with Vision West of England, Arnolfini will open our galleries early exclusively for the Visually Impaired community. Join us for a tour of Still I Rise where you will have access to equipment and guidance that will help you explore the artwork. Our staff have had sighted guide training and will be on hand to answer your questions and give you descriptions.

Access equipment includes PENfriend guides, audio-descriptions of some of the key works in the exhibition, large print guides and magnifying glasses which can be used to view some of the works. We can send you large print texts about the exhibition before you arrive.

Still I Rise: Feminisms, Gender, Resistance – Act 3 is a large-scale exhibition of international artists, highlighting the experiences of women and celebrating their triumphs – with an expanded programme of performances, screenings, workshops and talks filling Arnolfini through Autumn 2019.

From 10:00 – 11:00 you are welcome to explore our galleries.

From 11:00 – 12:00 we invite you to join us in our Light Studio for tea, coffee and biscuits and to gather your feedback. All feedback will be used to improve future events and services.
