Join us for a BSL Gallery Tour of our current exhibition Your Ears Later Will Know to Listen with Deaf and visual artist Zoe Milner. This thematic group exhibition and associated live programme considers how sound travels and transitions through cross-cultural identities, histories, and futures. Zoe will explore the artworks on display in relation to her own artistic practice.
Challenging and expanding the Western-centric canon of sound art, the exhibition offers a rich, international selection of multi-generational, Indigenous and Global Majority artists who engage with sound in complex, layered and multimedia formats, including painting, sculpture, textiles, drawing, reworked analogue sound, multi-channel sound installations, and collections of oral histories, presenting sound through visual as well as sonic mediums.
Please note this tour will be conducted in British Sign Language with no spoken accompaniment.
Zoe Milner was born and raised in Nottingham, profoundly Deaf, to a hearing family. All her childhood life, she was always experimenting with provocative and inspirational typography, inspired by the Deaf-related 'BSL ACT NOW' campaign which was held to educate audiences with a wake-call about the realities of the Deaf community, highlighting equitable justice and much-needed attention. The use of colour, within her artwork, highlights the build-up of tension and power as feelings of prejudice, frustration and communication difficulty throughout her journey as a Deaf identity.
Zoe attended Deaf school for eleven years. She graduated with a First Class Honours degree in Fine Art at Nottingham Trent University. Since her graduation in 2023, she collaborated with City Arts Nottingham, Derby QUAD, as well as Cockpit Studio and Outside-In, based in London. In the addition, she has been working for Flare Arts as Curatorial Fellow for almost two years.
