Touching the City

Zone: Building C, Level 0

Curator: Jakub Święcicki 

The inclusive exhibition Touching the City presents textile typhlographics dedicated to the theme of Kielce metalwork. The exhibition focuses on the downtown gates, depicted through machine embroideries and haptic graphics made from flock foil. It is dedicated primarily to blind and visually impaired individuals, while for sighted people, it serves as an opportunity to examine the artisanal architectural details in the city of Kielce, which are often unnoticed in daily life and unfortunately increasingly replaced by cheaper alternatives from building supply stores. It can become an alternative guide to the capital of the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship.
