the first major exhibition of work by the world’s most accomplished blind photographers.
The exhibition explores the idea that blind photographers can see in ways that sighted people cannot. These artists employ diverse strategies in their work. Some use the camera to present their own inner visions. Some capture the outside world unfiltered with a non-retinal photography of chance. And a number of the artists, legally blind but retaining a limited, highly attenuated sight, photograph to capture the outside world and bring it into their realm.
This traveling exhibition was curated by Douglas McCulloh,
and has been reviewed in Time Magazine, BBC TV Worldwide,
National Public Radio, NBC, and Men’s Journal.
