Information on DaDa Festival 2010 "Beyond Sight... Partho Bhowmick... Friday 12 November - Friday 3 December | 8:00am - 6:00pm (restricted viewing times on Sundays)... Venue: Liverpool Cathedral.... Tickets: Free
This startling photography exhibition from India by visually impaired people brilliantly illuminates a new approach to capturing images revealing that photographs are made successfully in the mind as much as by the eyes. The work engages the active participation of the sighted viewer to understand the experience of expressing a world that is not seen or partially seen. “To see is to photograph and to photograph is to see.” UK Premiere" DaDa Festival
Information on Leicester Grammar School "From the 23rd - 26th November, Leicester Grammar School is hosting an exhibition of photographs by the Beyond Sight Foundation from Mumbai, India. This organisation is a highly successful charity and educational pioneer in India and last year won the Karmaveer Puraskaar - National Award for Social Justice and Citizen Action, given by the Indian Confederation of NGOs (ICONGO). They also have a strong web presence and their URL is http://blindwithcamera.org/.
The exhibition will be mounted in the foyer and the photographs on display are unique as they are taken by Indian photographers who are blind and partially sighted and students from Indian schools for the blind, some who have never seen. The artworks depict their daily activities and personal experiences. Thus the exhibition will not only represent an exhibition of interesting images, it will also give an insight into the lives of blind and visually impaired adults and students in India. The only other venues for this exhibition in the UK will be Liverpool Cathedral as part of the DaDa International Arts Festival and the Indian High Commission in London, which will also host a presentation by the head of the foundation, Partho Bhowmick.
We would like to invite parents, students and families to visit the exhibition, and particularly attend the preview on the 23rd November, from 5 – 6 pm, which is free of charge and during which Partho Bhowmick will be in attendance. If you would like tickets for this event, please return the slip below with the number you would like." Simon Hayhoe, Leicester Grammar School
