Join art guide Martin Glover for a bespoke tour of HOME’s latest exhibition Songs for the Storm to Come by Mikhail Karikis.
This is a BSL tour with no spoken English that is designed for deaf and hard-of-hearing BSL users.
HOME is thrilled to announce its forthcoming solo exhibition, Songs for the Storm to Come, an immersive sound and multi-screen installation, by award winning, internationally renowned Greek/British artist, Mikhail Karikis. Powerfully evocative and emotive, the work and soundscape composed by Karikis and developed with a local choir, focuses on the way humans relate to, and interact with, the environment and the role communal sound making plays in expressing this relationship.
Martin will guide you to create connections, explore your own interpretation of the work, and challenge perceptions through engaging conversation.
Attendees are welcome to join Martin after the tour for an informal discussion in the café-bar.
