Deaf Time: Film & Discussion - Contains Strong Language Festival

Deaf Time: Film & Discussion - Cathy Mager, Owen Sheers & Patricia Kingori.

Chaired by Chris HassanCathy Mager is an artist who creates immersive experiences that connect people through art, technology, and storytelling.

In this event she presents the world premiere of a beguiling new film installation which will be played on MediaCity's outdoor screen during Contains Strong Language.

Mager's film explores the concept of 'Deaf Time' - the idea that d/Deaf people enjoy a richly different experience of time from others.

Owen Sheers is a poet whose work has frequently explored the relationship between trauma and time, including a verse drama, Pink Mist, which looks at the struggles faced by soldiers in transitioning to normal life after being thrown into combat in Afghanistan; and the ongoing issues facing a Welsh community 60 years after the Aberfan tragedy.

Joining them on stage today is a rising superstar of British ideas - Patricia Kingori.

She leads a fascinating Oxford University research programme, After the End, which explores the surprising relationship between time and power.
