The Stallery is excited to announce that colour blind visitors are now able to borrow special EnChroma glasses for colour blindness during their visits to all upcoming exhibitions at the pop and street art gallery. Partnering with EnChroma to improve the gallery experience for colour blind visitors, The Stallery is the first gallery in Hong Kong to offer EnChroma colour blind glasses to enable accessibility to the arts of the people of Hong Kong! While people with normal color vision see over one million shades and hues, those with color vision deficiency only see up to 10% of colors. An estimated 350 million people worldwide are color blind: 1 in 12 men (8%) and 1 in 200 women (.5%), roughly 319,000 in Hong Kong alone.
On Tuesday, September 12 at 7pm, colour blind individuals including Ernest Chang, artist and founder of The Stallery, a local artist, and a public participant, will try on the EnChroma glasses for the first time while viewing Chang’s recently closed solo exhibition “Space Rich” for an emotional live reveal as they experience the colors of art. Their reactions and experiences will be captured on video and shared with the press and on The Stallery’s social media platforms post-event.
