All Ears
Created by: Hannah Jayne Lewin
Location: Leicester Railway Station – Entrance
Overview
All Ears is inspired by the variety of languages spoken in Leicester. At least 70 different ones – making Leicester one of the most linguistically diverse places in the UK. Artist Hannah Jayne Lewin’s colourful design, featuring a variety of ways to greet one other, encourages people to listen to the diversity of human communication. Look out for a few animals making their voices heard and feel the textured ‘Hello’ in braille.
