Join us for an audio described tour of this years Adam Portrait Award. The audio descriptions provided by Audio Described Aotearoa are available at anytime on our web page, however for this session we will be using the transcripts of these same descriptions to give a live tour, the live format will give attendees the opportunity to get involved in the kōrero (conversation) and ask questions. We will have 3 speakers set up in the Gallery and the descriptions will be read over a microphone as we take our tour.
