Blind Visionaries

Blind Visionaries is a stunning multi-media collaboration between innovative composer and pianist Daniel Kelly and The Seeing With Photography Collective—a pioneering group of blind and visually impaired photographers whose work is exhibited around the world.

 Using a process called “light painting,” the abstract photographs transport the viewer into with the unique dream world of these surreal portraits. The captivating images are projected on screen while, through recorded interviews, the photographers reflect on their personal experiences with blindness and their personal decent into a darkening world. Daniel Kelly’s riveting original music was composed in response to these compelling stories and images. Audience participation includes creating a “light painting” during the concert that is revealed at the end of the show.

A lobby exhibit or extended gallery exhibition, and “light painting” workshops are available in conjunction with the performance.
