Rare Braille Book in Oxford: Read it for Yourself!

Robert Bolick has been collecting artists’ books since 2012. His collection ‘Books on Books’ contains over 1200 items, and a selection of over 150 works featured in an exhibition curated by Robert, Alphabets Alive! which toured from July 2023 to January 2024.

He has recently procured a new book from artist Masoumeh Mohtadi, which modifies and transcribes into braille the Persian fable called “The Little Black Fish” to teach the reader how to make an origami fish. He is working with MyVision Oxfordshire and Oxford University to set up a workshop to enable blind people to handle and explore the book for themselves.

If you would be interested in taking part, please email Nathan Tree, Community Engagement Lead for MyVision Oxfordshire, on [email protected] by Friday 29 November. Lunch will be provided.
