SX2023 'blind tour' an eye-opener for some
During the” Blind Experience ,” a woman is being led by an employee from the left. Participants become more familiar with what it’s like to be blinded when they use their sense of touch to decipher forms of art on paper. A group of students enrolls in the mini-workshop” Great to See You.”

At the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center( QSNCC ), the Sustainability Expo 2023 ( SX2023 ) is providing a” blind experience” to aid people in comprehending the world of the visually impaired.

The biggest quarterly conservation event in the Asean area is SX2023. Additionally, it emphasizes issues that prone groups face.

A” Nice to see you” workshop where participants are blindfolded before touching drawings made of woollen fabric on paper is one of the” blind” activities.

People can visualize a drawing’s appearance and the message its creator was trying to convey by touching the material structure. Members who are blindfolded even mimic how blind people focus on sounds around them.

Additionally, there is a learning-in-the-dark action that simulates the experience of situations in daily life through visual perception in the dark, such as noise, heat, feel, taste, and scent, as well as interactions with deaf people while using canes or braille blocks on footpaths.

Participants in the activity will also be able to make art in a dark environment and learn how to feed like deaf people.

The knowledge is being held at QSNCC in space 201 on the second floor for eight rounds per time, free of charge, until tomorrow. The duration of each round is approximately 45 minutes.
