BSL Tour: SO THIS IS REAL LIFE
Saturday 18th April
John Hansard Gallery, Southampton

Join Martin Glover, a BSL (British Sign Language) user, on a free guided tour of our Gallery 1 exhibition as part of our spring programme, SO THIS IS REAL LIFE: Punk-Post-Punk Imagining 1975-85.

Curated with writer Philip H***e, the exhibition looks at the impact of the punk and post-punk period of the 70s and 80s, and its present-day reverberations. The exhibition analyses the still vibrating traces of the punk scene from an analogue age. A specially commissioned, billboard-scale photomontage work by Linder Sterling – inspired by Raphael and the footballer Miguel Azeez – is part of the exhibition, which also features archive works by Linder from the mid-1970s, including evocative images from the celebrated Manchester gay/drag club, Dickens, and her famous photomontage work for the Buzzcocks’ Or**sm Addict record sleeve.

After the tour, Martin will lead a ‘Punky’ creative workshop inspired by the exhibition, supported with Vicky Barber-Crimes, a local deaf artist. We will probably use a VHS sleeve to create your own statement and badge making too!

Refreshments will be provided.

Please book your free ticket(s);
