Project: Braille Street Art
AUSTIN SERAPHIN & SONIA PETRUSE

Legally blind local programmer Austin Seraphin created Braille street art with Sonia Petruse back in March, previewing the project during the #NotAtSXSW party in the Drink Philly offices. Each and every sticker is created on Austin’s Braille writer, with messages written in both Braille and print and placed around Philadelphia by Petruse. Due to the unique circumstances and the nature of their work, the duo behind Braille street art have been nominated as a team.
A unique, beautiful project, the Braille stickers appeared on newspaper boxes and other locations around Philly. Learn more about Austin’s work championing accessibility here.
