Aftersight Ep. 18: Trevor Hahn, Art through Touch

What this episode covers

Trevor is an activist, artist, and outdoor enthusiast - oh, and he’s also a new dad! He talks about finding peace in ice climbing and about how rock climbing led him to sculpture to make “art through touch.” Trevor also talks about his travels, particularly to Nepal shortly after he lost his remaining vision. There, he helped at a center for children with disabilities and climbed to 17,775 feet. This was a momentous first for him, and a kickoff to “doing cool things,” as he put it. He also candidly talks through his diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis, his treatment, and his subsequent vision loss. And, he talks about his realization that he could still be active and creative.
