Joseph Rizzo Naudi is a blind writer and facilitator based in London, United Kingdom.

He is a Techne-funded postgraduate researcher at Royal Holloway, where he is exploring artwork description, fiction technique and blindness as a generative approach. His writing has been supported by Arts Council England and the London Writers Centre.

His BBC Radio 4 programme ‘Ways of Not Seeing’ was broadcast in October 2025 and is available on BBC Sounds.

Joseph’s practice involves working closely with artists, writers and curators to make exhibitions and artworks more engaging through the creative use of blindness. Since 2022, he has carried this out in the form of workshops, Audio Description interventions and text-based artworks with organisations including the Henry Moore Institute, Yorkshire Sculpture Park, the Wellcome Collection, Smartify and the National Gallery. He has previously collaborated with the W-ICAD project at the University of Westminster and the Beyond the Visual project at UAL.
