Führung: NEU Kein Brett vorm Kopp! Dialogtour zum Thema Holz für Blinde und Sehende

In the organizer's words:

NEW No board in front of your head! Dialogue tour on the subject of wood for blind and sighted people

There is a high density of modern art in Westfalenpark Dortmund. Sometimes large and obvious, sometimes small and more discreet. These diverse works of art provide the perfect setting for an inclusive dialog tour between blind and sighted people. The focus of this interactive tour is on the material wood: on the one hand in its natural form on a living tree, and on the other as a designed sculpture.

In the course of the dialog tour, tandems of sighted and blind participants are formed. In addition to experiencing art in nature, the focus is on interpersonal exchange. Art historian Dr. Andrea Klotz will pick you up at the meeting point and you will literally grasp some of the trees and works of art in Westfalenpark in a new way!

Ring in the long Whitsun weekend with an afternoon full of art, nature and aha-moments.

With the dialog tours for blind and sighted people, Westfalenpark Dortmund creates space for inclusive and horizon-broadening encounters at eye level. The dialog tours are a joint initiative of Westfalenpark Dortmund with the Freundeskreis Westfalenpark e.V. and the Art in Public Spaces department.

This event is also part of the exciting new Science after Work format: instead of the usual after-work routine, participants can treat themselves to interesting snacks of information in an entertaining atmosphere, try out new things and acquire fresh knowledge in a relaxed atmosphere.

The "Science after Work" event series is a joint initiative of Dortmund Zoo, Westfalenpark Dortmund, the Animal Protection Center, Dortmund Nature Museum and Rombergpark Botanical Gardens. This cooperation enables a wide range of topics and in-depth expertise to be presented in various formats.
