Queer Touch is a wearable installation that reimagines how we experience heritage spaces. Developed at Bidston Observatory, the work challenges visually dominant ways of engaging with history. Through touch and sound, participants navigate space using a sensory system that translates movement into sonic feedback. Inspired by queer phenomenology, the project introduces disorientation as a way to disrupt habitual perception. Moments of sonic interruption invite participants to pause, reorient, and rethink their relationship with the environment. By shifting attention from vision to embodied sensing, Queer Touch opens new possibilities for experiencing space, memory, and the body.
