The interview is easy-to-read
Since when do you give guided tours in sign language at Museum Tinguely?
In January 2018 I was in Brazil. Suddenly I received an e-mail from Museum Tinguely.
Other people had recommended me.
Since then I have been doing tours at the Museum Tinguely in German sign language.
Whenever you are not at Museum Tinguely: What do you do?
I live and let others live.
What is your most beautiful memory at Museum Tinguely?
There is a highlight in every tour or exhibition. We can discover new things every time.
But I will always remember the Inclusion day 2018:
I was waiting for my small group.
Instead, a very big group with more than 30 visitors arrived.
The group was very diverse. There were:
- hearing impaired persons
- deaf persons
- hearing persons
- and a person in a wheelchair.
My colleague from the museum was astonished.
She recommended: Split this big group into two groups.
This crowd overwhelmed me.
I wanted to try something new:
A guided tour for a big group in sign language and spoken language at once.
My group attracted attention at the museum.
We sometimes blocked the way for other visitors.
My participants got fascinated from the artworks by Jean Tinguely.
At the end, they gave me a big applause.
This is how deaf people applaud: They turn their hands forth and back over their heads.
It looked like butterflies.
I will never forget this.
