Sustaining the Future: Braille Digital Art
Through our activities in which we bring the creativity of visually impaired artists to fruition as new forms of expression through the collaboration of AI technology and specialists, we aim to contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Goal 4: Quality Education for All
The creation process of braille digital art provides visually impaired artists with a high-quality educational opportunity to acquire a proactive method of expression. Collaboration with AI and specialists promotes the acquisition of new knowledge and skills, fostering rich creativity. The insights and works cultivated through this activity can become opportunities for a broader range of people, including the visually impaired, to deepen their understanding of diverse forms of expression and new artistic experiences through exhibitions and educational programs.
Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
The creation of braille digital art as a new field of art provides visually impaired artists with a new sense of purpose, allowing them to leverage their talents and connect with society. Through the creation and exhibition of their works, as well as related activities, it holds the potential to support their economic independence. As such activities expand, they could lead to the creation of venues for showcasing works and related job opportunities, thereby potentially revitalizing the local economy and promoting the active participation of diverse talent.
Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities
Braille digital art is an attempt to correct the disparity in expression that exists between the visually impaired and the sighted by enabling visually impaired individuals to engage in artistic expression proactively. By expressing their inner world through art, they are able to promote social participation and contribute to the realization of an inclusive society. The space created for sharing works and generating dialogue plays a crucial role in deepening understanding of artistic activities by the visually impaired and removing social prejudice and barriers.
Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
Exhibiting accessible art in public and digital spaces contributes to creating cities where everyone can comfortably participate in cultural activities. Projects that fuse braille blocks and art lead to the formation of a safe and beautiful urban landscape.
Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
Leveraging the characteristics of digital art, we can explore sustainable production methods that minimize the consumption of physical resources. It is also possible to combine it with tactile exhibitions using environmentally friendly materials and technology. Throughout the entire lifecycle of a work, initiatives to reduce environmental impact are possible.-
Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals
The development of braille digital art is inseparable from collaboration with people from diverse specializations, including visually impaired individuals, AI engineers, artists, researchers, educational institutions, and welfare organizations. This spirit of co-creation embodies the partnerships essential for achieving the SDGs. To further advance our future activities, it would be effective to strengthen collaboration with various fields and build a platform for sharing knowledge and resources.
