Touch Art Show

Ahmet Ustunel is a blind artist who talks about the frustration of going to an art gallery and not being able to experience the artwork through sight, the way it is intended, and not being allowed to touch it to experience it the way he learned to experience visual things. He organized a Touch Art Show that focuses on the sense of touch because he believes touch is "our most reliable sense". The work in the show is displayed in cardboard boxes, where it can be felt and not seen.
