S2 Ep966: Periphery: How We See (and Don't See) the World


Listen Later

‘Periphery: How We See (and Don't See) the World’ is a truly accessible immersive exhibition of work by Multi-Disciplinary Artist and Designer Sarah Jane Palmer which came from conversations Sarah had with her Farther about the visual hallucinations he had been experiencing through the condition Charles Bonnet Syndrome which is currently on at The Point, Doncaster until 16 May 2025. 

RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey recently caught up with Sarah to find out a bit more about her background as an artist, how the conversations with her father about the visual hallucinations were turned into the installations and work that is on display in ’Periphery’ at the Point in Doncaster. 

Sarah also explained to Toby that having now worked to make ‘Periphery’ accessible to blind and partially sighted people, Sarah will be working hard to encourage other artists and galleries to make their exhibitions truly accessible to everyone too.
