NAVIGATING SIGHTWALKS IN PERU
Circus Grey Perú has teamed with Cemento Sol and the Municipality of Miraflores to transform sidewalks in their community. Over the course of nearly two years, they have laid more than 75,000 square meters of special tiles, creating a signage system designed to empower over 500,000 visually impaired individuals in Lima.

By introducing special tiles integrated into the sidewalks, Circus Grey Peru and Cemento Sol have pioneered a groundbreaking navigation system that stands out as a beacon  of inclusivity and innovation. These tiles serve as a tactile guide allowing visually impaired individuals to navigate independently, enriching their daily lives and fostering a newfound sense of autonomy.

Circus Grey Peru recently released a film--directed by Mario Angulo of REBECA--outlining the initiative, dubbed “Sightwalks,” and its impact.
