SUMMARY:Beyond the Museum Gaze
DESCRIPTION:Join Shubhasree Purkayasatha and Breanne Coelho from the MAP te
 am for an immersive tactile walkthrough of VISIBLE/INVISIBLE: Representati
 on of Women through the MAP Collection\, and delve into the history and po
 litics of touch in the museum space.\n\nFor centuries\, museums have prima
 rily emphasised sight over touch. This ocular-centric approach has shaped 
 the way in which we engage with art\, often sidelining the rich\, sensory 
 learning experiences that touch can provide. In this walkthrough\, we will
  explore how this history has influenced our understanding of museum objec
 ts and their cultural significance\, bringing to the fore tensions between
  touch and preservation in museum practices.\n\nClosely examining the artw
 orks on display\, we’ll focus on the marks and traces left by the artist
 s themselves—whether through brushstrokes\, textures\, or the materialit
 y of their work. These tactile imprints offer valuable insights into the c
 reative process\, revealing the artist's intent and craftsmanship in a way
  that goes beyond what can be seen with the eye alone.\n\nThrough the use 
 of tactile models\, we will engage in a more hands-on way\, deepening our 
 understanding of the artworks on display. Opening new avenues for learning
 \, we reconsider the limits of how we interact with and learn from art\, h
 ighlighting how touch can be a crucial tool in enriching our connection wi
 th the past.
