Holzkunst, die berührt

In the organizer's words:

In this interactive tour, the focus is on wood as a material: on the one hand in its natural form on a living tree, and on the other as a designed sculpture. The artist Manuel Brockmann, who is currently exhibiting at the Torfhaus Gallery, will be on hand to take us on a journey through his works. Which wood is suitable for sculptures? What is important when working with a chainsaw? In conversation with the artist, there will be lots of information, exciting reports and some aha moments.

Dialogue tours for blind and sighted people

There is a high density of modern art in Westfalenpark. Sometimes large and obvious, sometimes small and more discreet. These diverse works of art provide the perfect setting for an inclusive dialog tour between blind and sighted people. In the course of the dialog tours, tandems of sighted and blind participants are formed. In addition to experiencing art in nature, the focus is on interpersonal exchange. The art historian Dr. Andrea Klotz will pick you up at the meeting point and you will experience Westfalenpark in a new way in the truest sense of the word!

With the dialog tours for blind and sighted people, Westfalenpark Dortmund creates space for inclusive and horizon-broadening encounters at eye level. The dialog tours are a joint initiative of Westfalenpark Dortmund with the Freundeskreis Westfalenpark e.V. and the Art in Public Spaces department.
