S2 Ep1457: Beyond the Visual - Fayen d'Evie

For the first time the Henry Moore Institute in Leeds will be hosting an exhibition of contemporary sculpture designed to be experienced using multiple senses that move beyond the visual through the exhibition, ‘Beyond the Visual’ which will open on 28 November 2025 and run until 19 April 2026. The exhibition celebrates the work of both blind and non-blind artists who through their work challenge the dominance of sight in the making and appreciation of art.Works on display will include seven new commissions plus historical and contemporary work by sixteen international artists.All of the work in the exhibition can be experienced through more than one sense, including the sometimes forbidden act of touch. RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey caught up with Fayen d'Evie as she says a blindish Artist, Writer, Publisher and Lecturer about her collaborative immersive sculptural installation for the exhibition. To find out more about the ‘Beyond the Visual’ exhibition at the Henry Moore Institute from 28 November 2025 to 19 April 2026 do visit - https://henry-moore.org/whats-on/beyond-the-visual/(Image shows the Beyond the Visual logo.
