Finger Talk
'Finger Talk' is a new British Sign Language (BSL) artwork by Cathy Mager that invites visitors to step out of a hearing-centred world and into a space shaped by deaf perspectives.
Bringing together archival films, contemporary performance, animation and sound, this installation foregrounds BSL as a living, evolving language with a rich cultural history.
At the heart of the installation is a circular space where visitors are surrounded by a projection in which performers sign a simple story of loss, loneliness, discovery and kinship.
