As art galleries have long emphasised the visual, the AGO's Multisensory Moments' Collection activates experiencing artworks beyond the solely visible, enabling understanding the surroundings in new ways.

How can artists and designers create more multisensory experiences? OCADU Graduate Students, in response to an Inclusive Design Multisensory Museum Course, share their co-creative process of translating artworks in the AGO Collection into multisensory objects. Students explore a wide variety of techniques to create an inclusive gallery experience in a series of Multisensory Museum Moments.
In this program, we present an inclusive, multisensory translation of Kara Walker’s Resurrection Story with Patrons (2017). The experience consists of an interactive webpage where visitors can explore the stories, sounds and environment of enslaved Africans brought to America during the Antebellum period along with an audio-visual translation of the original artwork.
