Join a free hands-on, creative workshop where you can playfully experiment with light, colour, shadows and projection. You’ll have the chance to create your own large-scale, moving artworks. This is a space to play, explore, and create without fear of getting it wrong – just bring your curiosity.
The workshop will be led by artists Maral Mamaghanizadeh and Alice Bowen-Churchill from Spectroscope, and is inspired by the ‘1880 THAT’ exhibition by Christine Sun Kim & Thomas Mader, and the ‘Finger Talk’ installation by Cathy Mager.
Together, we’ll explore what it feels like to live with the threat of losing one’s language and the expressive power of our hand gestures and movements – whether or not you know British Sign Language (BSL).
This workshop will be guided in BSL, with voice over interpreters available for non-signers.
There will be a Chill-Out Room available with low lighting, comfortable seating, cushions, mats, ear defenders, earplugs and sensory toys.
This workshop is for people aged 14 to 19 years old and disabled people aged 14 to 25 years old.
