Kings Cross outdoors exhibition reaches over one million visitors
54 large portraits of deaf people were displayed outdoors in London’s Kings Cross - close by railway station - one of the world’s busiest transport hubs.
During the month-long exhibition, over one million residents, commuters, workers, shoppers and tourists passed through the area. An incredible opportunity to raise deaf awareness in the general public.

For many of the portrait subjects - such as sign language rapper MC Geezer (above left) - the exhibition was a chance to bring their families along too.
Several schools for deaf children bought their pupils along to see positive deaf adult role models in a public setting.
