About the project

From Frida Kahlo to Stevie Wonder – 11 Stories of People Who Changed the World

This inspiring journey through captivating video inserts, stunning 3D projections and four interactive installations honours the lives of 11 extraordinary individuals – Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder or Stephen Hawking, just to name a few – who, despite living with physical or sensory disabilities, have transformed the world through their creativity, vision, and determination.

“Art with Disabilities” is a fully accessible revolutionary exhibition designed by Polina Gerasimova, that not only explores the profound achievements of artists, musicians, athletes, and scientists but is also a call to expand our own consciousness. Through immersive storytelling, cutting-edge digital displays, and four interactive installations, the exhibition invites visitors to engage with the world as these incredible individuals do – through a unique sensory experience. This immersive and interactive digital art exhibition is fully adapted for people with disabilities, featuring subtitles, audio guides, booklets in Braille and a vest specially designed with the latest technology for people with hearing impairments.

The 4 interactive installations provide deep insight into how people with disabilities perceive the world. Visitors are invited to challenge their minds by engaging their senses in unconventional ways by exploring Braille writing, hearing music through vibrations, communicating through hand-in-hand signs and relying on the senses of taste, scent and touch. This part of the exhibition demonstrates how people with disabilities can inspire us to expand the limits of our own sensory experiences.

A digital art experience fully adapted for people with disabilities.
