Stories from Silence: free weekend events at Wellcome Collection
8 July 2009
A Native American in full war dress armed with bottles of prairie medicine, an exploding bucket, Japanese demons and a voice from plague-ridden London in 1665 all feature in a live storytelling event to be held at Wellcome Collection on 18 and 19 July.
Four specially commissioned storytellers will use performances, Japanese story boards and live demonstrations to tell their stories, each inspired by one of four different objects in the Wellcome Library.
Families and adults are welcome at this free event, which also includes audio description of the four central objects, as well as speech-to-text live subtitles (on Saturday 18 July) and BSL (on Sunday 19 July).
