A number of inclusive initiatives for blind and visually impaired people were the result of an encounter between members of the Ornament light of the Ornament with administrators from the Museum of Contemporary Art (MAC) and students from the Bilingual Tourist Management race, which was run through the Office of Equal Opportunities of the Ministry of Culture (MiCultura).

The session was a space to discuss how people with visual disabilities have to be approached and conducted while visiting the museum's facilities so that they have an enriching experience and feel comfortable and have an opportunity to enjoy the different exhibitions presented by the MAC.

During an exchange of ideas, Melissa Hernández, a teacher at the Board of Trustees, explained to the guides and administrators of the MAC, the questions that should be put to the person with visual impairment, once they get to the museum, as well as monitoring the characteristics of the stick and knowing more about its requirements for his or her journey.

Meanwhile, some members of the Board gave their suggestions as to how to make the MAC, a more inclusive museum for them, and referred to them as: to facilitate the availability of audio description in audiovisual artistic works as well as to highlight (signage) on the ground to recognize through the stick the locations to move.

Among other initiatives, it was mentioned that leaflets or triptics have the largest and most outstanding letters to visualize and understand the description of the exhibits, among them that had been advanced earlier between MiCultura and MAC, as baille pics and sheets currently being worked by the Board and will soon be delivered.

María Lucía Alemán, executive director of the MAC, Juan Canela, chief curator and Minia Biabiany, a plastic artist from the next exhibition to be opened in June, received with great acceptance each of the ideas that will help to improve the experience of all sorts of audiences and become one of the private museums to be pioneers of the inclusive experience.
