The 'Listening with Your Skin' tour is an inclusive sensory experience tailored for blind and visually impaired art enthusiasts. Led by accessibility consultant Emilie Conway, the tour aims to provide aesthetic access to art beyond the visual sense, focusing on touch, sound, smell, and imagination.

Taking place on September 9, 2026, at the Uillinn: West Cork Arts Centre, the event runs alongside Dr. Siobhán McGibbon’s exhibition, 'Love Beyond the Species and the Sexual.' Emilie Conway, an artist and campaigner with personal experience of visual impairment, developed these tours to foster greater inclusivity in the arts. The experience begins with relaxation techniques and an introduction to the space using a tactile map, followed by an opportunity to touch art materials and engage with the concepts behind the exhibition in a calm and accessible manner.
