About Watch Us Lead - BSL tour

This listing has now taken place.

Experience Watch Us Lead through a Deaf perspective in this guided tour led by Chisato Minamimura 

Through British Sign Language, Chisato will guide you through the exhibition, sharing insights into the artworks, objects, and stories that shape it. 

Together, you will explore themes of identity, representation, and lived experience, reflecting on how disability, race, and history intersect. The tour will also consider how stories are communicated, understood, and felt across different perspectives.

The exhibition combines these stories with stained glass and drawings by Christopher that reflect significant moments in the lives of the individuals featured.

Meeting point : The Round Room
