Projects

Twelve funded projects since 2023, led by the people they are about.

Grant winners and their families sitting together along a low outdoor bench beside a fire pit. Several hold white canes and a black guide dog rests in front of them.

Josh and Eileen Loebner, side by side, smiling in a room hung with framed pictures. — Two people stand close together in front of a wall densely hung with framed art and family photographs. Both are smiling directly at the camera; the room behind them is warm and lived-in.

Narrative Placemaking

Josh & Eileen Loebner

How the words a destination chooses — on signs, in brochures, on websites — decide whether a blind traveller feels invited or warned off.

A woman seated in an armchair beside a potted tree, wearing a shirt reading I am someone RARE. — A woman with long hair sits in a grey armchair beside a small potted tree, hands resting on the arms of the chair. Her black T-shirt reads “I am someone RARE” in coloured lettering. Round wooden signs lean against the wall behind her.

Blindness & Art

Krista Webb

Building bridges through creativity and community — making the making of art, not just its viewing, a place blind people belong.

Canal houses and moored boats at dusk in Amsterdam. — A wide canal at dusk. Narrow gabled houses line the left bank, a church spire rises behind them, and moored tour boats sit along the right. The water is flat and pale pink with reflected sky.

Passport to the Pantry

Dr. Muhammad Abubakar & Khaleel Rahman

Food as the way in. Kitchens, markets and shared tables as the most accessible introduction a traveller can get to a place.

Blind Notes

Ignasi Cambra

A touring podcast on how blind musicians learn, memorise and interpret music — hosted by a concert pianist who has played Carnegie Hall and the Concertgebouw.

Erin and Monica Pruitt sitting together against a wood-panelled wall, one holding a white cane with a green grip. — Two women sit shoulder to shoulder against a warm wood-panelled wall, both smiling at the camera. The woman on the left wears a cream sleeveless top and holds a white cane with a bright green grip; the woman on the right wears glasses and a grey T-shirt printed with cartoon animals, one arm resting on a small round table.

Accessible Travel on a Budget

Erin & Monica Pruitt

Seven national parks on a real budget, documented park by park — and turned into a guide for blind travellers who want the outdoors.

Emeline Lakrout and Daniel Gutz standing with their yellow guide dog, one holding a white cane. — A couple stands side by side against a plain studio backdrop. He wears dark glasses and a red-and-blue checked shirt, one hand in his pocket; she leans into him in a patterned dress, an arm around his shoulders and a white cane with a pink grip in her free hand. Their yellow labrador guide dog sits at their feet in its harness, looking straight at the camera.

The Unseen Chronicles

Emeline Lakrout & Daniel Gutz

Across France through the history of blindness — Louis Braille's home, the first school for blind youth, and a 13th-century asylum still standing.

A family of four seated together on a sofa. — Four family members sit close together on a pale sofa in a bright living room, all smiling at the camera. A low table with a tray and a plant is in the foreground.

Yes I Cane Takes Japan

The Lamarra family

A family of four across Japan. Their video of using a visual interpreting app to work out a bidet has been watched over 740,000 times.

Three people outdoors wearing Team Limitless shirts. — Three people sit together outdoors in front of a palm-lined promenade, two of them in black T-shirts printed with a sun motif and the words “Team Limitless”. All three are smiling at the camera.

Limitless Grayson in Ghana

Terica & Grayson Roberts

A Ghanaian adventure, with white canes donated by Ambutech to hand to blind children along the way.

A raised-line tactile print of the Golden Gate Bridge lying on a wooden table beside the photograph it was made from. — Two versions of the same view lie side by side on a wooden table. On the left, a grey raised-line tactile print of the Golden Gate Bridge, its cables and headland rendered in ridges you can feel. On the right, the photograph it was made from — the bridge in rust red under a heavy sky.

A Tactile Art Journey

Ted & Carrie Tahquechi

Touring museums that let you touch the work — and making the case to the ones that still will not.

A guide-dog team crossing a New York street on a marked crosswalk. — A man in a black T-shirt, cap and dark glasses steps onto a marked crosswalk, one hand on the harness of a yellow Labrador guide dog leading him in from the bottom of the frame. Waiting cars line both sides of the street, with brownstones and a traffic light behind.

Nine Cities, One Guide Dog

Brian Fischler & Wesley

Dallas to Boston with a guide dog and a ballpark in every city — rating how accessible each one really was, and interviewing a local in each.

Eliana Mason in a Team USA blazer against a white studio background. — A studio portrait against a white backdrop: a woman with long fair hair in a navy Team USA blazer over a grey USA sweatshirt, facing the camera.

Goalball Across Europe

Eliana Mason & Marybai Huking

Two Paralympic medallists documenting their sport in England, Italy and Greece — elite, intermediate and grassroots.

The Story of a Blind DJ

Anthony Reyers

A five-part documentary made on tour through Europe and Asia by a DJ born without vision and losing his hearing to Norrie Disease.
