Nottingham Contemporary

This guide is specifically written for and in collaboration with blind and visually impaired audience members through consultation with members of My Sight Nottinghamshire and SoundScribe.

The exhibition is spread across four galleries. There are 9 stops including the audio description credits and they each range from 2 to 5 minutes. We describe two artworks in each gallery.

We invite you to use your own devices to access the audio description. You can navigate between each stop on a playlist, so go at your own pace! Alternatively you can ask for audio description at the reception desk where you will receive an MP3 player fully loaded with our stops. The black device is smaller than a smartphone and can fit either inside your pocket or you can hook it onto your pocket using the clip at the back. A broad screen takes up the top two thirds of the device. Directly below this is a button on the far left that takes you to the menu and on the far right is a back button. There is a wide, raised oval button at the centre which plays and pauses the tracks. It’s surrounded by four direction buttons with bump-on stickers. A bump-on to the left of the central play button takes you to the previous track. A bump-on to the right takes you to the next track. On the right side of the device is a volume controller and a power on/off button beneath it.

Your audio describer is Elaine Lillian Joseph from SoundScribe and this audio described guide will last approximately 35 minutes.
