Even with a smaller staff and defined budget, producing accessibility resources for cultural institutions requires community consultation – and it can be done! In this case study, Carla Ayukawa, Fiona Wright and James Bluhm discuss an audio description tour, developed with and for gallery visitors who are blind or who have vision impairments. In an exhibition that explored different kinds of perceptibility, this tour opened up spaces for multi-sensory engagements and shared social experiences.
