We are pleased to launch our first audio guide to accompany William Kentridge: The Pull of Gravity in the Underground Gallery.

Over the past year, YSP’s Programme Team has been working closely with the blind-led audio description collective DesCript to develop audio interpretation across the YSP programme. This partnership grew from a collaboration with theHenry Moore Institute in 2025.

In April last year, YSP hosted a collaborative audio description workshop as part of Beyond the Visual, a three-year research collaboration between the Henry Moore Institute, University of the Arts London and Shape Arts. The workshop included a walk through the YSP landscape, stopping at several sculptures to explore different approaches to audio description. The group included blind, partially sighted and sighted participants who, led by audio description specialists Sally Booth and Joseph Rizzo Naudi, created collaborative descriptions through conversation and touch.

Following the launch of The Pull of Gravity, YSP invited Joseph Rizzo Naudi (a founding member of DesCript) back to the Park to consult on how the learning and techniques explored during the Beyond the Visual workshop could be embedded within the exhibition and the wider YSP programme.

Joseph led a series of collaborative audio description sessions with staff from across the organisation to highlight four key works in the exhibition: Lexicon, More Sweetly Play the Dance, Studio Horse and Paper Procession. Transcripts from these sessions were shared with writer Kimberly Campanello, who translated the conversations into the four audio description highlights included in the audio guide.

The audio guide is available to listen to in advance on our website, or used to help you explore the exhibition on site via Bloomberg Connects or scannable QR codes in the gallery. 

The development of this audio guide forms part of YSP’s ongoing commitment to improving accessibility in the galleries and across the organisation. This is new work for YSP, and we are always looking to learn and evolve. We encourage visitors spending time in the Underground Gallery over the coming weeks to listen to the audio guide and share their feedback.

Your comments will help us develop this work and improve audio guides for future YSP exhibitions. Please share your feedback with the Visitor Experience Team in the gallery, or email us at info@ysp.org.uk.
