Graffitis for the Blind

This project lives somewhere between public and private, between socio-political urban intervention and installation, to focus on a specific problem: blindness and its relationship to the city’s symbolic and linguistic codes. it is a reflection on the importance of putting oneself in someone else’s shoes in order to understand other ways of moving through, decoding, and experiencing a shared city.
