Now showing in our Mezzanine Gallery! In collaboration with @bslcelebration, Deaf Vision presents work by children from the Newlands School Resource for Deaf Children and artists Rebecca Aldridge, Diana Terry, and Kim Waine-Thomas. Children from the Newlands School Resource for Deaf Children have worked alongside local artist Vicky Barber-Crimes (@vb_deaf_artist) in response to Emma Critchley’s exhibition Soundings. The young artists experimented with a range of materials to express their thoughts on Soundings, exploring the question: Should we mine the deep sea? This group exhibition has been co-curated with Vicky Barber-Crimes, who has displayed the creations alongside work by deaf artists Rebecca Aldridge, Diana Terry (@diana.terry.artist), and Kim Waine-Thomas (@kwainethomasarts). Thanks to deaf artist and architect Martin Glover (@gloverman_art) and Vicky Barber-Crimes, who were both part of the selection panel. This exhibition was developed in collaboration with BSL Celebration as part of Southampton BSL Fest. Deaf Vision is on show until 23 May.

EVENT ALERT! 🚨 Book Launch & In Conversation ‘William Blake and the Sea Monsters of Love’ by Philip Hoare Thursday 22 May, 6–8pm FREE, 🔗 in bio for tickets Join author Philip Hoare and artist George Shaw in conversation as they discuss Hoare’s new book, William Blake and the Sea Monsters of Love, published on 4th Estate. In his new book, Hoare celebrates the radical, timeless energy of William Blake, whose imagination still washes into our world like a deep blue sea. Joining Philip will be the acclaimed artist, George Shaw, a lifelong aficiando of Blake’s work. Together they will discuss the lasting legacy of an artist who accepted no limits to the human spirit. When someone tried to explain to Blake that the moon was thousands of miles away, he said that was nonsense. ‘I can go outside and touch it with my stick’, he said. The discussion will be followed by an audience Q&A and book signing. As part of the evening’s events, we will be screening Derek Jarman’s first narrative short film, At Low Tide, filmed in Dorset in 1972 – a rare chance to see a work itself influenced by Blake. There will also be a temporary gallery display of work by George Shaw, and Philip Hoare’s book will be available for purchase. Join us for this very special event and illuminating insight into William Blake. Doors from 6pm, with the In Conversation starting at 6.30pm. Suitable for ages 16+. — #PhilipHoare #GeorgeShaw #PublicationLaunch #BookLaunch #InConversation #WilliamBlakeAndTheSeaMonstersOfLove #Writing #PrintedMatter #WilliamBlake #DerekJarman #Film #AtLowTide #Art #Culture #ContemporaryArt #Events #FreeEvents #Southampton #SouthamptonEvents #SotonArts @uni_southampton @uos_engagement @artsunisouth @southamptonforward @sotonevents @artfulscribeuk @aceagrams @4thestatebooks @sarahkatehayden @uni_southampton_wsa @aspacearts @cityeye_media
