The Mission of Artesens from France: Learning about art while touching tactile reproductions and experiencing moments of emotion and aesthetic pleasure during interactive plays.

Artesens designes inclusive exhibitions. Children and adults with and without disabilities discover their cultural heritage based on a sensitive, artistic and playful approach. Paintings are reproduced and historical objects are experienced in interactive roleplays. Artesens also reproduces art and develops training packages.

In order to reduce this divide and to enable cultural and artistic experiences for persons with disabilities, Artesens designed inclusive exhibitions. Children and adults with and without disabilities discover their cultural heritage based on a sensitive, artistic and playful approach. Paintings are reproduced and historical objects are experienced in interactive roleplays. Artesens designs exhibitions in which also the nose, the ears and the fingers are used and reproduces art and develops training packages in relation with the global museum community.

Problems Targeted

The opportunities for persons with visual impairments to experience art and culture are still limited. It is still an exception to find an exhibition design which is inclusive of the needs of persons with disabilities - including audio description, authentic objects for handling, tactile models or images to touch etc.
