Accessibility at Between Two Sites
This website is an archive of the accessibility resources developed for Between Two Sites, presented at Burrinja Cultural Centre in 2023. The information below documents how blind and low vision visitors could access and navigate the physical exhibition.
Visitors attending the physical exhibition at Burrinja were able to access:
-
a description of the gallery in audio and large-print text-based formats, containing information to assist with understanding how the exhibition and artworks have been laid out and navigating the space
-
the audio description of each artwork by using your phone to scan an A4 sized QR code poster that is displayed and located in close proximity, to the right of the work, on the wall, about 1 metre high from the floor
-
a printed catalogue of compiled QR codes and large print transcripts which was located on a table in the gallery’s first small alcove area upon entry to the exhibition.
Tactile Interactions
Three installations were suitable for tactile interaction, with the permission of the exhibiting artists.
These were specifically:
-
Anne McCallum’s installation called Ecotone featuring objects displayed on the floor made of natural fibres and found materials in the first alcove area upon entry to the gallery

The wooden cabinet of Madelynne Cornish’s work I Once Heard a Bird Sing in the first big gallery space
