Part II: How to Create Inspiring Museum Audio Guides with Lou Giansante.

When writing kid/family tours, I’ve sometimes used two kids or teens as narrators, either as themselves or playing characters. Other times I’ve paired an adult with a kid. For instance a few years ago, I wrote a family tour for the Ellis Island Immigration Museum. The narrators are actors portraying a young girl and her father whose family ancestors immigrated to the US. When writing Audio Description tours for art museums, I’ve had luck asking artists how they would describe their work to a blind person. I did this for Revealing Culture, a VSA exhibition of contemporary art by artists with disabilities at the Smithsonian in Washington. The fascinating byproduct of talking to the artists was their reactions. Many said they had never thought of blind people appreciating their art, and in the future would consider ways to make their art more accessible. <a href="https://medium.com/@hennawang/part-ii-how-to-create-inspiring-museum-audio-guides-with-lou-giansante-fc0ddd0b2a8d">Read More</a>
