• Jon shares some moments from the previous reading group’s RiseUp Pad discussion.
  
• Fayen introduces the theme we are setting up and unpacking in this session. Rephrase from programme: “How do we encounter each other through access, and how could these encounters expand and extend our experiences with artworks and with one another in ways that wouldn’t otherwise be possible? In the final session of our reading group, we’ll unpack some of the cultural biases and hesitations about what we disclose and how. We’ll lever open possibilities for access as a catalyst for conversation — during encounters with artworks, or as a means of archiving sensory memories of artworks.”
• This week, the summaries of texts will be distributed across the session.

• Fayen summarises ‘Bringing a Closing to Disclosing the Clothing’ by Jack Bernard, in Braille Monitor, January 2022
