102 - Sign Night

Sign Night is a poetic conversation in sign language between two star crossed lovers, projected onto buildings in central Bristol. The deaf performers share their dreams for the future from building to building, across the night sky. Sign Night has been created by artist Cathy Mager and is inspired by the balcony performers of Wuhan and Lombardy, this time using British Sign Language (BSL) – the vital, visual and versatile language of British deaf communities.
