Place Setting opens at LUX, London

We’re pleased to announce that Nina Thomas’ Place Setting, commissioned by Animate Projects and British Ceramics Biennial, will be showing at LUX, London, from 6 April to 19 May 2024.

We often only talk about the cultural and linguistic experiences of deafness. I believe we should also recognise the bodily experience of being deaf, as a rich space for exploration – of what it means to live in a deaf body and what it feels like to inhabit this deaf space.  Nina Thomas, March 2024

In developing Place Setting, Nina visited dDeaflinks, a community support organisation, where she met deaf former ceramics industry workers from Stoke-on-Trent. Filmed interviews with Malcolm Johnson and Anne Cartlidge are shown alongside the film.

Place Setting has been supported by Deaflinks, The Willows School, Spode Museum Trust, and Stoke-on-Trent City Archives. It is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.

Everyone is welcome to the opening, between 14:00 and 16:00 on Saturday 6 April. Follow this link to RSVP.

The exhibition is open 12:00 to 17:00, Thursday to Sunday.
