Friday Late: In The Palm Of Your Hand
Question the ritual of handshaking, explore the future of prosthetic hand design, and help your fingers cope with smartphone withdrawal.
IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND
31 January 2020
18.30 – 22.00
Whether to swipe, scroll or type, the way we use our hands is evolving. From using tools, to communication, comfort and care, our hands allow us to make connections and manipulate the world around us. This Friday Late, take part in a workshop to question the ritual of handshaking and explore the language of hands through dance. Use emoji gestures to decode the narrative of paintings and explore the future of prosthetic hand design. Help your fingers cope with smartphone withdrawal and use embroidery to consider the hand’s symbolic status.
