We're in the museum, I forgot the name of it, but I know we're in a museum.
I think it was an art gallery.
What I heard, I was diagnosed when I was four, and we found out I had this sickness, like
called rectinitis pigmentosa, which hasn't changed since I was four.
I'm Mrs. Liddy, and I'm going to be your guide tonight, and I'm going to give you a pair of gloves.
So you can touch the sculpture.
We're going to be touching the art and talking about the human figure.
My condition is anaphthalmia, and that literally means without eyes.
So, you know, for people that have zero vision or have very little vision,
there's got to be a way we can have some fun.
Everyone needs some joy in their life, right?
Hey, what do you feel, Mara?
A face.
A face, okay.
What else can you feel?
Can you all feel the face?
I can feel this.
Okay, what is that?
A chest or a lung.
No, it's a...
No, think.
This is a tomb slab.
This used to cover a place where somebody was buried.
It comes from Spain, and this is a very important person.
Malachi, what are you feeling?
Can you feel...
You were feeling something right there.
Hey, Malachi.
Huh?
You might want to see this.
Let me see.
What about his hair?
His hair.
It's pulled back.
Yeah.
It may be...
It might act...
Maybe it was...
Maybe it's like a character.
No, no, no.
This is AD, not BC.
His hair is pulled back.
Yeah.
Maybe he was attacked.
And I think this thing right here...
It's right here.
Can you feel?
Yeah, I got it.
It feels like a helmet.
Maybe.
It didn't seem right.
Then it really grew on me.
I mean, like, it was...
I don't know.
It was like...
It felt not...
It actually felt better to feel it than just look at it.
I mean, it...
It's hard to put it in words.
I mean, it's just...
They may look amazing, but they also feel amazing.
And in some dark areas, if you can't see the...
If you can't see the writing, you can just feel the writing with your hands,
like the hieroglyphics and stuff.
Give you a 2-2 in a second, mom.
There's no head at all.
There's no head.
He was beheaded.
Oh, yeah.
I don't think he was beheaded on purpose, however.
He probably fell over one time.
When you look at a picture...
I'm just guessing here.
When you look at a picture, your eyes tell your brain,
oh, hold on.
This is a picture of, say, a person or a mummy.
It's like that with me, except for it's a much slower process.
This would be a pretty weird word for this,
but I felt euphoria to be with everyone and to feel the textures
and feel like I know what I'm doing with these...
A lot of people call this regular pictures.
And I felt euphoria because I thought,
wait, I'm feeling a statue here of something.
I can translate these stone thingies,
what's in help maybe, into a person,
skin, flesh and blood, bone, muscle, whatever is there.
