Brazilian artist brings street art to visually impaired

A graffiti on a street in Sao Paulo offers a unique tactile experience for the visually impaired to get to know and connect with the art of hip hop.

Brazilian artist Subtu created the mural 'Graffiti para cego ver' (Graffiti for the visually impaired to see) using the braille alphabet to reveal the images' shapes, colours, and dimensions for the visually impaired to enjoy graffiti art.

The work, located in the Beco do Batman in Sao Paulo, a graffiti neighbourhood, shows two monkeys and a 3D printer as the animals work together.

Subtu said he researched how to develop the braille mural for three years, and each part was printed on a 3D printer and then coloured by the artist.
