Since November 2024, CORRECTIV.Schweiz has been researching visible and invisible barriers in everyday life – in the city, in social life and in our minds – as part of the project ‘Attention barrier! Where does life become difficult for you?’ The focus is on the realities of life for people with disabilities. We have dealt with one question in particular detail: What does it feel like to navigate public spaces as a blind, autistic or elderly person?

On this evening, CORRECTIV.Schweiz will give space to these questions – with personal texts, conversations and perspectives that are often overlooked in public discourse. The discussion will involve those affected, experts and decision-makers. Visitors will also be able to experience the research results for themselves – with a mixed reality application via VR glasses that opens up new perspectives on everyday life.
