Snacks & Chats with Inge Gappmaier

Access friends accompany events at brut Wien and support visitors with accessibility needs. They offer practical help and guidance, provide information about schedules and procedures, assist with navigating the venue and finding quiet or retreat areas, and are available as points of contact throughout the event. Access friends can be recognised at brut Wien by their yellow high-visibility vests and bells.

Tactile guidance systems are elements fixed to the floor that enable visually impaired or blind people to find their way around public spaces, both outdoors and indoors. With the aid of a white cane, paths can be felt and perceived acoustically. Tactile guidance systems can take various forms and be made of different materials.
