BSL Tour: Silent Archive
-
Join us for a British Sign Language (BSL) tour of Silent Archive, led by Trudi Collier.
Tickets £5.
Please book your ticket in advance via Eventbrite and meet on the day at the entrance to the exhibition in Inverleith House, at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.
Painful truths, surprising revelations and fresh perspectives on humanity’s complex relationships with the botanical world emerge from our exhibition Silent Archive. International artists reveal RBGE’s archives in new ways, challenging us to discover hidden narratives and hear long-ignored voices that are preserved in our collections. Significant works that tell stories of scientific discoveries, colonial histories and cultural heritage are displayed for the first time. Plant artistry, photography, music and more help convey how these archives shape our view of history, whose past they represent and how they might inspire change.
Silent Archive is supported by Players of People's Postcode Lottery, the Outset Transformative Grant, and the National Lottery through Creative Scotland.
