""It's asking people to come to a show that they can come in and play and that there are things to touch all around the room and there's ways for them to be engaged. The first premise is saying everything is about touch, right? I'm also saying that art is generally an exclusionary place where terminology might exclude people or the very act of not being able to touch things.""
""Snowcarp excels at this because she understands how tactile experiences and art facilitate learning for people who struggle with reading and processing information.""
H. Eliz Snowcarp's installation, A Division of Vision: Can You See How I Feel?, addresses exclusion in the art world by emphasizing the importance of tactile experiences. The exhibit encourages interaction, allowing visitors to engage with the artwork through touch. Snowcarp critiques the art world's gatekeeping by the sighted and abled, highlighting how those with limited sight or different learning styles are often marginalized. Her work serves as a reminder that art can be inclusive and accessible, fostering understanding and engagement for all.
