10 Museums, 4 cities in Greece, 1 shared vision: Art and museum collections to become more inclusive for people with disabilities!
ΕΜΣΤ along with 9 other museums in Greece (MOMus-Museum of Contemporary Art, MOMus-Museum Alex Mylona, Museum of Cycladic Art, MOMus-Museum of Modern Art, Museum of Contemporary Art ‘Constantin Xenakis’, Teloglion Foundation of Arts A.U.Th., B&E Goulandris Foundation, MOMus-Thessaloniki Museum of Photography and Municipal Gallery of Larissa – G. I. Katsigras Museum), will become the “meeting point” for inclusion and co-creation within the framework of Off Stream’s Meeting Points project.
On Sunday, October 22nd, 2023 from 12.00 until 13.00 EMΣΤ and Off Stream invite the audience to meet and co-create the creative audio description of a selected artwork from each museum’s collection. The 75-minute long public event is addressed equally to adults with and without disabilities, providing simultaneous interpretation in Greek Sign language and tactile aids of the artwork.
The content that will occur from the Meeting Points public events, curated by Off Stream and with the contribution of the artist Hichem Merouche, will form the basis for a fully inclusive collection of postcards that will be available at the gift shops of the collaborating museums. In this way, we ensure the condition of equal access to a visual arts’ “panorama” including representative artworks from ten Greek museums.
Meeting Points is a project by Off Stream implemented in collaboration with 10 Greek museums under the auspices and with the financial support of the Greek Ministry of Culture.
The events at the B&E Goulandris Foundation and the Contemporary Art Museum ‘Constantin Xenakis’ are implemented with a donation from the Ioannis S. Latsis Foundation within the framework of the “Points of Support” program co-financed by 10 charitable organizations.
