BSL TOUR: Storytelling

21 January 2017

Sir John Everett Millais, Bt, The Boyhood of Raleigh 1870. Tate.

Explore the art of storytelling on this British Sign Language Tour 

From fairy tales, folktales, mythology, legends and fables; storytelling conveys events in words, and images, often by improvisation or embellishment. Stories or narratives have been shared in every culture as a means of entertainment, education, cultural preservation, or instilling moral and cultural values. Visual art has always been closely associated with storytelling by using plots, characters and narratives to illustrate allegories for religious or historical subject matter. On this tour discover new stories on display in the Tate collection. 

 Delivered in British Sign Language by guide Rinkoo Barpaga with voice over interpretation. Hearing loops and amplifiers are available. Please meet in the Manton Foyer.

 If you have any other access needs that you would like to let us know about please contact: Anna Murray, Assistant Curator: Access anna.murray@tate.org.uk or call +44 (0)20 7887 8888
