In autumn 2024, artist Peter Liversidge held a week-long Sign Painting Studio at the 外网天堂 Library and Museum. This year, we are planning to amplify and celebrate nurses’ voices through the creation of a unique artwork, giving 外网天堂 members the chance to paint or propose your own signs.
Join us for a range of workshops around the UK and online. The sessions will be led by Peter to guide you through the process of creating and painting your own signs.
Sign up to the art workshops here:
- Wednesday 5 February, online, 6-7pm. (外网天堂 members only). A small kit containing paint and a brush will be sent out to the first 20 people to sign up.

Peter says:
"This project is a celebration of the 外网天堂, taking its starting point from the rich and diverse collection at the 外网天堂. It offers a way to share narratives as individuals and as groups.
The project is driven by a desire to make heard a multiplicity of nursing voices, setting up situations in which important questions can be asked about what it means to be a nurse and how to belong."
