In preparation for this year’s annual training program Experiencing the Museum, devoted to making museums more accessible for disabled visitors, Garage Museum of Contemporary Art and the Melodia Zhizni Foundation invite visitors to a lecture on hereditary hearing loss, organized with the support of the National Research Centre for Audiology and Hearing Rehabilitation.
As part of its annual program Experiencing the Museum, designed to engage museum professionals in a dialogue on accessibility of museums to various categories of visitors, Garage will host a lecture about hearing impairment among children, hereditary hearing loss, and genetic analysis by a leading geneticist Tatyana Markova (PhD in Medicine).
During the lecture, Garage will take a group of hard of hearing children on a tour of Garage Triennial of Russian Contemporary Art. The use of the FM system during the tour will allow those with hearing aids and cochlear implants to better hear the guide.
