Created by a Dutch ophthalmologist and photographer, the exhibition features portraits of 11 patients, aiming to make conversations about eye loss and prosthetics more approachable. On 2025-08-22 19:11:00, visitors can start exploring these intimate stories firsthand.
How often do we consider the emotional and social impact of eye prostheses? And what role can art play in changing perceptions? These questions set the stage for understanding the exhibition’s local and human significance.
The exhibition invites reflection on the realities faced by those with eye prostheses. Why is it important to destigmatize this condition? What can Belgium learn from this Dutch initiative? Key points include:
- Personal stories humanize medical conditions often overlooked.
- Art serves as a bridge between patients and the wider community.
- Raising awareness can improve support and healthcare services locally.
As ‘Oog in Oog’ opens its doors, it encourages visitors to engage with the topic of eye prosthetics openly. Belgians are invited to visit the exhibition and join the conversation about eye health and inclusion.
