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 29: Curatorial label for "Study for Cradle"
This chapter is the text written by Danielle Printup for Study for Cradle. It is a minute long.
A prominent multidisciplinary artist based in Southern Alberta, Faye HeavyShield is a member of the Kainai (Blood) Nation, which is part of the Blackfoot Confederacy. She has worked across media for over thirty years, often using a minimalist aesthetic approach to engage with embodied understandings of land, place and community.
This drawing, titled Study for Cradle, was made to draft the design for a three-dimensional sculptural work she later made using cotton, acrylic paint, and grass. It exemplifies HeavyShield’s ability to use minimal forms effectively, evoking a child’s presence with subtlety and power.
Move to the next stop. Continue on the path directly behind you, for 5 metres, crossing the gallery. The drawing is in front of you.
