CUAG has developed an audio description tour for "Drawing on Our History," designed for gallery visitors who are blind or who have low vision. It is intended for in-gallery use, but can also be used remotely.
"Drawing on Our History" is a celebration of CUAG’s 30th anniversary, bringing the works of eight contemporary artists (invited by past guest curators) into an open conversation with a wide-ranging group of historical and contemporary drawings selected from the University’s collection and made by Canadian and international artists.
The tour provides an overall description of the exhibition, and descriptions of ten works from the CUAG collection, including the newest acquisition, “Medusa” by Ed Pien. It also features descriptions and interviews with three of the invited contemporary artists: Gayle Uyagaqi Kabloona, Mélanie Meyers and Marigold Santos.
In gallery, there are tactile reproductions of several art works, and a tactile path for independent navigation.
This tour was produced by CUAG, and designed with insights from members of Ottawa and Carleton’s blind and low vision community.

Chapter 23: Gayle Uyagaqi Kabloona
Gayle Uyagaqi Kabloona is an Inuk artist based in Ottawa, and was invited to be part of the exhibition by Sandra Dyck, Director of Carleton University Art Gallery. You can hear her written reflection on Kabloona’s artwork in Chapter 27. This chapter will give an overall description of the installation, and the next two chapter will describe two specific works. Then you’ll hear from Kabloona herself. This chapter is thirty seconds long.
Along the wall, there are six framed black and white drawings of objects from Kabloona’s home. There are also three vases in a display case. This section of the gallery is close to the stairs where you first came in, between two of the black floating walls.
Go to the next chapter for information on Kabloona’s individual works.
