POMPEII For All: A Cultural Revolution For A Modern Accessibility

Is very dear to the Association Praesidium Vitae, know that in their own land, they are small but important steps forward in the world of accessibility, even in the field of art.
The International Study Centre Pompeii, chaired by prof. Umberto Pappalardo has organized, in collaboration with the Region of Campania, the University Suor Orsola Benincasa, the City of Pompeii, the Archaeological Survey, the International Council on Monuments and Sites, and the Company Bell Cultural Heritage, a conference dedicated to modern accessibility at the Hotel Pompei Resort, Thursday March 26, 2015.
Will be present at the conference prof. Aldo Grassini, founder and Director of the Homer Tactile Museum of Ancona, international paradigm, the fundamental and essential for the use and perception of artistic and aesthetic multisensory, and Dr. Loretta Secchi, curator, the Tactile Museum of Ancient and Modern Painting Anteros in Bologna, which happens to be is one of the most innovative experiences in the world, as it offers the blind translations in bas-reliefs of forty paintings from the Middle Ages to the present, from Botticelli to Hokusai.
Will be special for Campania, Pompeii, learn from those who for years now has international example in the field of accessibility physical and sensory art.
A disabled person would not be such if there were no barriers, and break down the primary objective of the Association is Praesidium Vitae, both social and physical assets.
And ‘essential – says Prof. Grassini – they spread as soon national guidelines for accessibility of cultural for the blind. Without a directive of the Ministry, it will be difficult to break up a closed attitude toward tactile exploration that is largely based more on prejudice than on real need for preservation of the artistic heritage.
The sensory approach to art is not to be invasive, we must learn to touch.
That is why even and even as children must be taught to touch and not impose a net ban. There are many ways to get in contact with a work of art, and thanks to this conference will prepare us to understand the methodology to shorten the distance between art and disability.
What you need to do is a real cultural revolution and the biggest ones are born without a sound.
Praesidium Vitae has great hopes in this beautiful event and sent to all our readers and supporters to participate.
