Accessible guide and presentation in Italian Sign Language (LIS) of the exhibitions at Palazzo Grassi and Punta della Dogana

The Accessible Guide and videos in Italian Sign Language accompany visitors on their discovery of the exhibitions by Michael Armitage, Amar Kanwar, Lorna Simpson and Paulo Nazareth

On the occasion of "Michael Armitage. The Promise of Change" and "Amar Kanwar. Co-travellers" at Palazzo Grassi and "Lorna Simpson. Third Person" and "Paulo Nazareth. Algebra" at Punta della Dogana the accessible guides offer simple itineraries for visiting the exhibitions at Palazzo Grassi and Punta della Dogana, with a number of features:

  • a careful selection of works 
  • content for everyone: the content is designed to explain the exhibition even to those who are not familiar with contemporary art
  • simple language without technical terms
  • all content is also available in LIS (Italian Sign Language) and IS (International Sign Language) 

The accessible guide is developed in collaboration with Federica Pascotto, BARTOLOMEO ETS, Davy Mariotti (interpreter and translator in International Sign), and Giorgia Capodagli and Umberto Crosera (Italian–LIS review).
