as nuisance and it is seen as something out of the normalcy. It comes
out of lack of understanding about visually impaired.

The touch is the touchstone for understanding others; be it
individuals or the objects. One could corroborate this claim by
meeting people who are deafblind. 'Touch the art' should become a
movement if blind people are to achieve accessibility.

Because the action of touching is embedded in the human mindset as
getting personal or physical... Whether to the human or the object!!!

the notion of touch needs to be politicized. And this could only be
done by blind people and those who are deafblind.
