<p class="m_-498895917129896573gmail-MsoNormal">I’m sharing a community request for design feedback that
will help shape the accessibility of a museum exhibition. The museum educators
working on this project are primarily looking for participants who are blind or
visually impaired, but sighted folks with accessibility experience,
particularly in museums, are also welcomed to get in touch. Pasted below are
the request itself and the link that lets you sign up for the date you’d like
to attend. Please bring your questions directly to the event organizers; I’m
just a participant, and don’t know much more than what I’m writing here. </p>
