Collaborative Vision
This week I had another cool, first-time-ever art experience….I went with my friend Zoé Motte to a large office building situated between l’Arc de Triomphe and La Défense. She led an art workshop for three groups of financial services employees. That in itself could be a challenge, BUT…there’s more to it than just that…. Zoé is a “seeing impaired” artist and in the workshop she made the participants “seeing-impaired” with goggles that were taped up, scratched up, blacked out, etc…..to simulate various vision problems. Then she asked each group to work together to paint a collective work of art to be displayed in the office building. Needless to say, it was quite a challenge for the participants. It was interesting to watch some struggle to overcome their sight restrictions while others had to deal more with their creative limitations….but in the end, I think all were stretched a bit.
The workshop was part of a series of activities to highlight sensibilities toward handicapped employees and customers. And so as to not keep your vision restricted any longer….below is a slideshow of the day’s activities.
Great project, David! How can we get her to some of our U.S. business districts?
Wow, brilliant!!!!
Great!
Art, business, and spiritual exposure in experiences of both impairment and capacity (in spite of impairment)! Sure wish we could have been there, but you already knew that! So happy for you that you were! Blessings to Zoë!
