British Sign Language (BSL) Tour of ‘Margaret Salmon: Assembly’
Sunday 5 October, 2025 – 2.00 p.m. – 3.30 p.m.
The Hunterian Gallery, University of Glasgow, 82 Hillhead Street Glasgow G12 8QQ
Deaf art enthusiast Trudi Collier returns to The Hunterian to present a British Sign Language tour of the newest temporary contemporary exhibition, ‘Margaret Salmon: Assembly’.
‘Assembly’ is a solo exhibition of new work by acclaimed artist-filmmaker Margaret Salmon. Resulting from and reflecting upon a process of community outreach, story counselling and cinematic experimentation, the exhibition encompasses a film, photographs, and sculptures in an installation that will expand over time, inviting local audiences to return to The Hunterian’s galleries as materials shift and evolve. An intimate enquiry made by a socially-committed, locally-engaged artist, ‘Assembly’ highlights the voices of a diverse range of residents within the areas of Kelvinside and Maryhill, Glasgow.
The exhibition, grounded in everyday Glasgow and its residents, asks: how have years of austerity and a global pandemic affected individuals and community in Glasgow? How has a mass collective loss affected that community’s understanding of death, healing and the future? Central to the exhibition is a long-form narrative film. The artist describes ‘To a God Unknown’ as “a feminist existential melodrama and ghost story”, to be researched and filmed on 35mm during the exhibition throughout summer and autumn 2025.
Participants should note that there is no simultaneous translation to English.
