Workshop for blind, visually impaired, and sighted participants
WHEN: 24 September 2026
DURATION: 16:00–19:00
LOCATION: Novara Castle ???
How can we tell the story of a superhero when we cannot see them?
And how can touch open new ways of knowing, imagining, and experiencing culture?
In this workshop, we will discover the world of superheroes and explore how many of them draw their powers from their unique characteristics, including, in some cases, the ability to perceive and interact with the world without relying on sight.
The experience will combine storytelling, tactile exploration, and hands-on experimentation, offering participants the opportunity to discover materials, tactile boards, and 3D models inspired by Modern Mythology, superheroes, cultural heritage, and art history through the special Tactonom device.
Sighted, blind, and visually impaired participants are invited to take part in an inclusive experience where everyone collaborates as equals. The workshop will foster creative exchange, dialogue, and the sharing of different perceptual experiences, promoting new forms of collaborative learning and cultural participation.
In collaboration with UICI Novara, the experience will conclude with a blind tasting aperitif, dedicated to discovering the flavours of Modern Mythology and reflecting on how our senses can contribute to creating new and unexpected cultural experiences.
