A Show of Hands is an exuberant exhibition celebrating the expressive power of human hands. Through a diverse selection of artworks, the exhibition explores how hands convey mood, and messages, including notions of gender and identity. A Show of Hands which showcases sculpture, paintings, photographs, textile art and printmaking, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of human expression and social meaning.

From tender embraces to powerful fists, and graceful movements to working hands, the exhibition weaves together multiple narratives through sculpture, photography, paintings, textiles, and prints. These works invite us to consider how this most distinctive human feature shapes our understanding of ourselves and others.
