In conjunction with Aporia (Notes to a Medium), the Belkin is pleased to present a creative access audio tour of the exhibition by artist Kay Slater. The exhibition brings together works by Colleen Brown, Azza El Siddique, Dani Gal, Katie Kozak and Lucien Durey, Mark Lewis, Jenine Marsh, Jalal Toufic and Elizabeth Zvonar to consider how history, mythology and wishful thinking entwine across media and through mediums.

This audio tour, written by Kay Slater and narrated by Chris Slater, is designed to prioritize a non-visual experience for people with blindness or low vision. It includes wayfinding information so you can navigate the space safely, narrations of the printed didactics, a visual description of each work, insights from Slater and biographical information on each artist taken from the exhibition brochure.

If you would like specific photos of the works described in the audio tour, or have questions or comments about details, email us at belkin.gallery@ubc.ca.
