For the last three years the experience and knowledge obtained in Mexico have served as a turning point for the construction of an alliance with PhotoVoice, an organization dedicated to advancing the capacities of vulnerable groups through photography and with whom the Foundation has been active in both the UK and China. London Cuurrently, Ojos que Sienten A.C. is in the process of brand registration in London. We have trained 22 visually impaired photographers; 8 workshops facilitators, 5 of them sighted and 3 with visual disabilities; and 2 workshop coordinators, members of OBAC (The Organization of Blind Africans & Caribbean). Ojos que Sienten A.C. and PhotoVoice implemented their first photography workshop for visually impaired people in 2008 in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. Thanks to its success, the activities have continued. In 2009-2010 Sights Unseen, a series of workshops in coordination with PhotoVoice and OBAC, took place. Also in 2010, we presented an exhibit at the residence of the British ambassador in Mexico and in 2011 we implemented the first two Dinners in the Dark ® in London, the first under the sponsorship of Unilever, and the second open to the public. Thus, Ojos que Sienten A.C., in support of the Thomas Pocklington Trust, is beginning to construct new lines of communication between sighted and visually impaired people in the United Kingdom.
