Führung: NEU Torfhaus-Kunst hautnah – Dialogtour für Blinde und Sehende

In the organizer's words:

NEW Torfhaus art up close - dialog tour 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 direct encounters with art. Not only the diverse sculptures around the Torfhaus Gallery in the heart of Westfalenpark await us, but also the works of art inside the gallery. The currently exhibiting artist is on site and open to dialog about her works and the associated creativity, creative process and meaning.

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. The art historian Dr. Andrea Klotz will pick you up at the meeting point and you will literally touch some of the trees and works of art in Westfalenpark in a new way!

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.
