UOB Thailand Launches Tactile Art Exhibition for the Visually Impaired
The Bangkok Art and Culture Centre is hosting a new exhibition by UOB Thailand that transforms award-winning paintings into 3D tactile art.
UOB Thailand has introduced a unique exhibition titled 'UOB Please Touch' at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC). According to a report by Prachachat Business, the initiative aims to make fine art accessible to the visually impaired by converting award-winning pieces from the UOB Painting of the Year collection into three-dimensional, low-relief sculptures.
This exhibition is significant for residents and visitors alike, as it promotes inclusivity within Thailand’s contemporary art scene. By allowing patrons to perceive art through touch, the project breaks down traditional barriers that often exclude those with visual disabilities from gallery experiences. It highlights a growing trend in Bangkok’s cultural sector toward creating more equitable public spaces.
While the exhibition offers a novel way to engage with art, potential visitors should check the BACC’s official schedule for specific operating hours and the duration of the display. As of now, details regarding whether this exhibition will travel to other provinces or become a permanent fixture remain to be confirmed. Those interested in visiting are encouraged to verify current accessibility features at the venue to ensure a smooth experience.
