Our World: Signs for the Future with Take One Action and Edinburgh Deaf Festival

Curated by Charlie Little, a queer, deafblind film access consultant and curator, Signs for the Future is a collection of short films interwoven with intersections of identity, our natural world and elements, and climate justice issues. These films capture Deaf and disabled perspectives and intersectional identity, seeking to spark conversations about collective, intertwined struggles and how our climate plays a role in our unity.

This special showcase will also feature the short film Bee’s Journey, which was produced by emerging Deaf filmmakers and created in response to the Scottish Sensory Centre’s Rewilding BSL project. This project led to the creation of over 400 British Sign Language signs for climate and environment-related terms, making climate justice action and environmental discussions more accessible for BSL users.

The workshop presentations were led by Dr. Audrey Cameron, Will Clark, and Klarissa Webster.

Curated by Charlie Little.
