The Making Sense project aims to enhance museum and gallery experiences for visually impaired individuals through multisensory design. It begins by analyzing the current situation of blind and partially sighted (BPS) people, highlighting the accessibility limitations that remain in traditional museums and galleries. Using a co-design approach with visually impaired individuals, the study seeks to understand their needs, preferences, and challenges in engaging with artworks. The activity is primarily divided into two parts: co-design workshops and the studio-based making process. While these two strands are closely interconnected, they are discussed separately for clarity. The co-design workshops support direct user participation, generating insights that inform the development of prototypes and multisensory installations in the studio. Results from both processes provide key findings for enhancing non-visual engagement with art. Overall, the project promotes inclusive art experiences, cultural accessibility, and supports the rights of people with disabilities in museum and gallery spaces.
