BSL Talk: Portrait of a City

11am – 12pm

Book Tickets

Join us for a BSL talk exploring the Portrait of a City: A Century of American Photography exhibition.

In this exclusive BSL talk, go deeper into one of the year's most compelling photography exhibitions told entirely in British Sign Language.

Join John Wilson for an intimate, fully-signed exploration of Portrait of a City: A Century of American Photography, an exhibition tracing how photographers captured the pulse, grit, and soul of urban America across a hundred years.

This talk is designed specifically for Deaf and hard-of-hearing BSL users. It is delivered entirely in BSL with no voiceover, so you can engage fully, freely, and on your own terms.

After the talk, the exhibition is yours to explore independently. Take your time, linger on the images that move you, and see the city through your own lens.
