Join tour guide Andrew Mashigo for an audio described tour of WEIRD SENSATION FEELS GOOD: The World of ASMR and multisensory workshop for blind and partially sighted visitors.
What to expect:
In a special relaxed hours tour, guide Andrew Mashigo, supported by Lynn Cox, leads an audio described tour of our immersive exhibition exploring the weird and wonderful world of ASMR.
The tour will be followed by a hands-on workshop where participants will be invited to create their own ASMR pieces using a range of materials.
Exhibition synopsis:
Millions around the world are part of an online community who experience ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response): a physical sensation of euphoria or deep calm, sometimes a tingling in the body, triggered through sound, touch, and movement.
Curated in collaboration with ArkDes, the Swedish Centre for Architecture and Design, this is the first exhibition of its kind to lift the world of ASMR out from your screen and into physical space. Step into an acoustically tuned environment and understand how people are using new and existing tools and materials to navigate our complex world.
