Join artist Kaela Mei-Chee Chambers for a guided sensory tour of her Art Off Line commission, Eastern Aphasia Caress (EAC). EAC is a large-scale installation that reimagines the Western Aphasia Battery (WAB), a diagnostic assessment for language loss. On view throughout the ground floor of the Andrew Heiskell Braille & Talking Book Library, EAC serves as a public access collection of words, people, and memories. In addition to hearing from Chambers about the project, the tour will include scents, tactile images, and sculptures to touch and handle.
