Welcome to the Reading Paintings podcast created and presented by David Johnson and Harry Baxter. In these podcasts they will be visiting museums, galleries and cultural institutions, exploring works of art  through live description and discussion. their primary focus is on paintings, but they will also be investigating other forms of art such as sculpture and installation.
The conversations they record are unscripted, informal and spontaneous. They consist of two artists intuitive verbal responses to a work of art. David is a blind artist, Harry is a sighted artist and audio describer. Through this interplay between conversation and audio description Harry’s verbalisations are led by David's blindness. This process leads to unexpected insights into works of art which are then shared with the listener. Implicit within this process is the concept of 'Disability Gain', where the creation of a disability accessible society benefits everyone.<a href="https://readingpaintings.podbean.com/p/about-us/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"></a>
