Students using camera equipment to photograph their hand gestures back in the classroom
Sessions 2 and 3: Back at School
Back in the classroom the students looked closer at the details of their hands. Can the unique lines on our hands be used to both identify us and forecast the future? The students analysed their hand prints and used palm-reading guides to make predictions about their future lives.

Session 1: Gallery Visit
Using Amie Siegel’s film ‘Fetish’ as a starting point artist Marysa Dowling asked the students of Evelyn Grace Academy to think about how we use our hands to communicate and express ourselves. By photographing a series of hand gestures, the students created narratives inspired by their everyday exchanges.
