Art Project By Touch

By Touch is a project initiated by social entrepreneur Yulia Knyazhanskaya. It brings together deafblind beneficiaries of the Yaseneva Polyana Resource Center and contemporary artists working in various techniques and media, under the curation of art producer Dinara Uvarova. The project's creative producer is Dazzz Creative Studio.

The project aims to draw attention to children and adults with sensory impairments. "By Touch" seeks to provide them with opportunities for creative activities and to facilitate their participation in cultural events.

A charitable art auction By Touch will take place on November 11, 2026. All proceeds will go toward supporting existing resource centers and establishing new ones across Russia.

At the Cosmoscow International Contemporary Art Fair, the By Touch art project invites visitors to experience tactile interaction with artworks — just as deafblind people do. Visitors will be able to see the invisible: the paintings will be hidden behind QR codes, but they can be felt through plaster bas-reliefs.
