BSL Tour of ‘Audrey Amiss: The Surviving Exhibitions’ with Alison Claire France

Join multidisciplinary artist Alison Claire France for a Deaf-led tour of  ‘Audrey Amiss: The Surviving Exhibitions’. She will guide you through selected objects and themes, exploring Audrey’s life and work through art, campaigning and mental health.

The tour will be delivered in British Sign Language (BSL), with no voiceover or audio. You’ll have opportunities to ask questions and share your perspectives. All commentary and conversation will take place in BSL.

We’ll meet at the Information Point, which is on level 0, directly in front of you as you enter Wellcome Collection.

This event will be delivered in British Sign Language.

This event is wheelchair accessible, which means people in wheelchairs can access the location with relative ease.

Alison is a Deaf multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans painting, sculpture and immersive installation. She is passionate about accessibility, inclusion and creating opportunities for Deaf and hearing communities to engage with art together. Like Audrey Amiss, she has lived experience of mental health challenges, which has deepened her understanding of the importance of creativity as a means of expression, reflection and connection. She leads BSL tours that encourage visitors to engage with exhibitions through a Deaf-led perspective, fostering dialogue, curiosity and new ways of seeing.
