SUMMARY:Cunard Building: Cunard Building: DDFI40: Hand Ships Sail
DESCRIPTION:Launching DDFI40 on International Women’s Day\, ‘Hand Ships
  Sail’ is a poetic conversation in British Sign Language (BSL) – the v
 ital\, visual and versatile language of British deaf communities. Two de
 af women share their dreams for the future as they look out over the night
  sky. Intriguing and sensual\, the projected artwork begins with giant han
 ds resembling ships at sea\, rocked by waves. The sailing hands represent
  the lifelong voyage all deaf people must take\, navigating discriminatio
 n in the hearing world.  The Cunard is one of Liverpool’s Three Graces
 \, part of the iconic waterfront and famous for its nautical history as th
 e original headquarters of the Cunard shipping line. Cathy Mager is a deaf
  and Bristol-based artist and curator\, specialising in immersive and monu
 mental art installations in unusual spaces. She is founder and director of
  Spectroscope\, an arts collective that has pioneered sign language proje
 ction mapping for the BBC\, Bristol Light Festival\, Science Gallery Londo
 n and Shanghai Duolun Museum of Modern Art. Previously\, she has directe
 d public realm artworks and exhibitions for Bristol Beacon\, Forestry Engl
