In recent months, we’ve seen a fascinating variety of art forms that creatively and unexpectedly incorporate Braille. From music compositions and Braille images to one of my personal favorites: Braille made from food. The possibilities seem endless, and today we have something equally extraordinary: Braille in street art!
Perhaps some of you have already heard of the artist *The Blind*? If not, it’s about time! *The Blind* is a name not entirely unknown in the street art scene, who combines places and words in a unique mix of plaster and other innovative materials. But what makes his work special is that he uses Braille. His pieces are not only visually impactful but also tactile, offering both blind and sighted people the opportunity to engage with the art in a deeper way.
In an interview I found for you, *The Blind* discusses his creative journey and the challenges of making art accessible to blind people. What’s particularly exciting is his approach to public spaces, where his artworks often appear unexpectedly – hidden in the ordinary, but carrying a profound message that can only be decoded through touch.
In the link below, you’ll find not only an interview with *The Blind* but also a link to his Instagram account.
