If your body could speak, what would it say? From British Sign Language to dance as activism, interaction with robots to political posturing: what do languages of the body reveal or conceal?

Curated by Alice Carey and Elsa Richardson, this special event at the Wellcome explores body language with a late night bar running throughout.

Highlights include:

A new performance exploring public address from artist Josh Bitelli.

Speaking Without Words with autism expert Phoebe Caldwell.

Fat Activism with author and activist Charlotte Cooper.

Body Language and rhetoric with physiologist Harry Witchel. 

Zine workshop: delve into Wellcome Library archives with Collective Creativity artists to create new visual languages of the body.

Social robotics: discover the research behind human/robot interactions.

Body to Brain: watch how the brain responds to everything from high-fives to face-palms.

Most activities are drop-in but some talks need booking in advance. You can book tickets here from 11.00 on Friday 28 October.
