Dab Hands: From Hand to Face

Activity: OtherTypes of Public engagement and outreach - Festival/Exhibition

Description

Developed in collaboration with Lucy Burscough’s Dab Hands project, From Hand to Face is a video produced for the Being Human Festival, 2020. With the theme of ‘New Worlds,’ this was the perfect opportunity to draw connections between face transplants, an experimental form of surgery, and what it means to be human.

Faces are a core part of how we communicate, how we express ourselves in the world. So too, are hands.

Lucy Burscough worked with AboutFace to produce a short video of the production of an original artwork, featuring quadruple amputee and double hand transplant recipient Cor Hutton.
