What is Blindness? The World Unseen (BYOB Liverpool)

About This Event

"The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision"

Inspired by Helen Keller's words, step into a space where blind and partially sighted individuals take the spotlight, sharing their authentic stories and experiences. Through engaging workshops, cutting-edge research, inspiring art, and dynamic dialogue, we’re crafting a new narrative—one that celebrates the independence, creativity, and strength of blind and partially sighted individuals.

Join us as we challenge misconceptions, transform public attitudes, and work toward a more inclusive world for everyone—where vision isn’t just something you see, but something you create.
