For many people, self-care is deeply visual. We look into mirrors while fixing our hair, read labels before taking medicine, or check our appearance before leaving home.

Imagine entering a lecture hall where the most efficient student in the room isn’t looking at the professor, the screen, or even a notebook.

When talking about art, people often think of paintings hanging on the wall, or drawings or portraits that give life to an artist’s sketchbook.

Among all the things that visually impaired and sighted people share is the media. Media, as a communication channel, is used and consumed in varied manners, and blind people have their own way of experiencing it.

For many people, socializing is deeply visual. We read facial expressions to gauge someone's mood, make eye contact to signal attention, or catch a friend's smile from across a crowded room. But for blind individuals, connection is built differently.
