Seht her – Poesie in Braille

In the organizer's words:

Under the title Seeing Words, Reading Images, works from the Deutsche Bank Collection are currently on display at the PalaisPopulaire in collaboration with the Written Art Collection, one of the most important private collections of writing-based art.

To mark International Museum Day, editor Marco Sagurna, together with poets Clara Cosima Wolff and Salean A. Maiwald, will present the newly published anthology "Seht her - Poesie in Braille" (Kulturmaschinen Verlag 2026), which brings together poems in blackletter and Braille, as a poetic intervention to the exhibition. The poems by the 25 blind and sighted poets represented - including Ilma Rakusa, Volker Sielaff and Rüdiger Stüwe - are not only tactilely legible, they also make reference to seeing and hearing, to the invisible and the visible. The anthology was created in collaboration with the Lower Saxony Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired and was awarded the publishing prize of the Free State of Bavaria.

In addition to the reading, the Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired will be offering a Braille workshop for children at 11 am and the PalaisPopulaire will be offering a guided tour of the exhibition for blind and visually impaired people from 2 pm.

A joint event with the PalaisPopulaire and the Lower Saxony Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired.

In cooperation with the House of Poetry.
