Abstract

Touching the Future was a series of Protactile training and social events hosted in Central Glasgow in April 2026 which aimed to kickstart the Protactile movement in Scotland. Protactile is an emerging system of tactile communication developed within DeafBlind communities in the US that builds on contact space, tactile imagery, and reciprocity to promote autonomy and equality for DeafBlind people.
