Abstract
This paper seeks to address three questions that arose in my early research:
1. Given the guiding principle that visual art should mainly be understood by sight, how do people learn about and engage with art when sight is diminished or not there?
2. Given the experience of blindness and visual impairment, what are the effects of vision loss or no vision on a cultural identity in art?
3. How can education support learners who are blind and visually impaired in art education?
In this presentation I explore an in-depth case study of Esref Armagan, who is thought to be the first visual artist who has never been able to see. Following this presentation, attendees will hopefully grasp the concept of inclusive capital and have an understanding of what it is to produce and understand the world as a person who has never seen, and the distinction between Esref and people who have visual impairment or late total blindness.
