Meeting Points Postcards Collection
Off Stream collaborated with ten museums in Greece promoting the inclusion of persons with disabilities in the experience of Art. The result is a collection of universally accessible postcards!
The Meeting Points collection consists of 10 postcards, each featuring a tactile and photographic representation of the exhibit we focused on during the Meeting Points project from each of the 10 museums. On the back of each card, the exhibit information is provided in both standard print and Braille, along with space for a stamp and a tactile QR code that provides access to the creative description of the exhibit.
The creative descriptions are the result of co-creation by participants, with and without sensory impairments, during the public events of the Meeting Points at the 10 collaborating museums in the fall of 2023.
These inclusive postcards, beyond providing equal access to an artistic “panorama” with representative artworks from ten museums in Greece, are an innovative and original item, as it is the first time inclusive postcards have been created using this technique and in a participatory manner.
