Artes contemporáneas – percepción multisensorial – espacios de inclusión para personas en situación de discapacidad visual: un acercamiento al tema

Abstract

In this exercise of multisensory perception - spaces of inclusion for people with visual impairment, paradigms established over time and in the understanding of people without disabilities are being challenged. One of the paradigms being broken is the conception of the visual arts as an art exclusively to be seen with the eyes. Although it may seem paradoxical, this project uses actions and elements-objects that a visually impaired person cannot see, but can perceive through their other senses. On the other hand, normo-visual people could observe, but in the context of the project they are prevented from doing so, so that their experience resembles that of blind people. In this work, several actions and elements-objects are intertwined to form an artistic installation in the field of Contemporary Art. As main objective, the interest lies in promoting spaces of inclusion through the planning and development of a Contemporary Art Laboratory, this proposal is to develop an experimental artistic product of inclusive character with a research component, which allows us to reach our secondary objective, which is to know the communicative scope of the proposed multisensory art installation, perceived by a group of young people with visual impairment and normo-visual people of the city of Cuenca.
