What is the deaf and hard of hearing community?s experience of art? How does poetry, performing art and fine art impact the Deaf experience? Deaf artists have expressed their lives in deaf art. On the other hand deaf artists communicate with same artistic mediums as any other artist. How does deaf culture translate to the power to communicate in art? Come and join us as we explore this!
