"The Blind Side" - Ashraf Jamal on Sibusiso Ngwazi
View through Artsy
Braille is a written language devised for the blind, the characters represented by patterns of raised dots which are known and felt with the fingertips. Tactile, haptic, sensuous, it is a language of the body, a Nietzschean ‘physiological thought’. Like any other language system, Braille is an abstraction. It is synaesthesic, a blended compound, part logic, part sensation.
