Jointly with about 20 students and 2 teachers of the International School of Zug Pure Felt is working on 12 hand-felted felt banners of 3 m2 each which will depict the confronting message of breast cancer, survival and hope.
The purpose of the art installation and its traveling exhibition is to raise awareness for early breast cancer detection by trained blind women through the proven discovering hands method (www.discovering-hands.de) and to raise funds for a feasibility study in Switzerland to bring this discovering hands concept to Switzerland (and beyond).
We want to accomplish this through a travelling exhibition of our impactful yet graceful felt art installation designed and created for this purpose, which exhibition will be accessible for both the seeing and the visually impaired (the art work may be touched and texts will also be in braille).
