Canon UK & Ireland brings ‘World Unseen’ to Dublin

Following its successful debut in 2024 at Somerset House in London, and other locations across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, ‘World Unseen’ was hosted in Dublin from Wednesday 11th to Sunday 15th February 2026, offering a tactile and sensory experience through elevated prints, audio descriptions and braille. The exhibition made photography more inclusive and to demonstrate how technology can transform the way we engage with visual storytelling.

The Photography Exhibition You Don’t Need to See

Visitors encountered a series of striking images that showcased how imagery can be experienced through touch, to tell stories, communicate and evoke emotion. The adaptations not only raise awareness of accessibility in the arts but also highlight how inclusive design can enhance experiences for all audiences.

Canon’s elevated print technology, powered by its PRISMAelevate XL software and Arizona printer series, has been used globally to support museums and galleries in making art more inclusive. This exhibition continues that mission, offering a compelling showcase of how innovation can open new possibilities for people with visual impairments.
