Vision is not just for the sighted… it’s a quest to see beyond disability
You are warmly invited to take part in a specially designed walking challenge Melbourne’s first Vision-quest!
A community event hosted by local visually-impaired author, speaker
and advocate for the blind, Maribel Steel.
Vision-quest aims to:
-
- demonstrate the ART of living with vision impairment
- demystify what it means to be blind or visually-impaired
- offer the unique experience of seeing through ‘blind eyes’ for a day
- provide an opportunity for people to share lived experiences
- raise awareness and increase understanding of all abilities

Maribel Steel is, without question, a demonstrated Australian cultural leader and influencer – who also happens to be blind. She has begun working intensively to bring her message of hope, engagement and artistic expression to the world. I have the highest regard for Maribel’s leadership abilities.
