Our latest event.
Seeing BSL so visible across central Manchester instilled a sense of pride in our beautiful language that we were very proud to share and celebrate with the mainstream community. Memories include new research findings in Peter Brown’s talk on the birth of Modern BSL, a mixed Deaf and hearing group discussing the film ‘Power in Our Hands’, captivating and vibrant poetry, VV, comedy and storytelling, Andy Burnham opening the BSL Conference (and looking taken aback at the very enthusiastic BSL applause when he signed ‘Welcome to Manchester’), The Mayor of the City of Manchester, Rosie Cooper and Corrie actors Dolly Rose Campbell and Cherylee Houston signing all or part of their opening speeches. It was wonderfully colourful and fun, and felt empowering.
