Art gallery director Adam Harding said the program Echoing Voices would guide community members who were blind or of low vision through the new exhibition Seeing Voices on Friday at 2pm.

“We will move around the gallery, listening to spaces, architectures, textures and the intermingling of bodies and sound works, through a series of guided meditations,” he said. 

“Participants will experiment with ways of remembering and describing our listening experiences.

“Together we will develop an audio recording of our sensory impressions that will echo beyond the workshop as a collective memory of our embodied encounter.” 

Mr Harding said the exhibition used contemporary art to think about the power of the voice.

He said people entranced by language and the written word would find the exhibition of most interest.

The exhibition is open until December 10.
