Launch
Free
An exhibition about the role of signs in public spaces: what signs are needed, which ones work and why. Signs are everywhere. They tell us where we are, where we can go and where we can’t go. They tell us what we can do and what we can’t. Signs are about information but they are also about behaviour: they set a tone. And sometimes signs make us laugh. The exhibition invites you to think about the role of signs in public spaces: in particular it poses the question, how do signs installed in public spaces affect our sense of belonging?
