Event description

ACE warmly invites members of the blind and visually impaired (BVI) community to explore Shan Michaels’ Can Touch This – a tactile installation co-created with and for the BVI community in South Australia.

Visitors are welcome to explore the space freely, play dress-ups, build cubby houses, and experience the textured surfaces, soft sculptures and soundscapes designed for touch. You’ll also have the opportunity to create new elements to add to the installation and make it your own.

This relaxed, drop-in event is open to people of all ages. Parents, teachers, support workers, wheelchairs and Guide Dogs are welcome.

Featuring a program of live, experiential, post-object and otherwise ‘non-haveable’ art encounters, and unpacking Adelaide’s leading role as the historical world centre of post-object art today, Push / Pull asks: What kinds of encounters are possible, when the shock of the new is a local tradition?
