For more than 10 years, the Zero Project foundation from Vienna has been dedicated to finding and sharing innovative solutions that improve the daily life and rights of all people with disabilities.
Every year, a large conference is organized that gathers over 800 organizations from all over the world, and at the conference held in 2023, Street Art Belgrade presented its project Art in Passing, when during the three days of the conference in the atrium of the UN building, the famous Serbian artist Jana Danilović painted a mural called Inclusion. A 3D model was created for this mural, which contains a description in Braille.
About the Art in Passing project
The goal of the Art in Passing project is to bring street art closer to blind and partially sighted people through the installation of models made with 3D technology. The mural models are an innovative approach to the presentation of street art and graffiti, because with 3D technology, blind and partially sighted people are enabled to get to know the works of art on the streets of Belgrade through touch. Along with the works, there are Braille descriptions that can rarely be found in the public space. The first 3D models of murals for the blind and partially sighted were installed in 2021 on the occasion of October 15, which is celebrated throughout the world as the Day of the Blind and Visually Impaired, and to date a total of eleven models have been installed in Serbia at different locations in Belgrade, and one model is placed in Čačak on the wall of the Home for the Blind.
