I always knew I wanted to be an artist from a young age, but only saw it as something possible through selling work at Deaf expos or fairs.
I want to highlight 1880 THAT, a show I created with Thomas. It explores the 1880 Second International Congress on Education of the Deaf in Milan, where hearing delegates from multiple countries voted to remove sign language from Deaf education, a decision whose consequences are still felt today.
Right now, I want to give a shoutout to three Deaf British individuals who were involved in the planning of 1880 THAT: Cathy Mager, Christopher Liang, and Damaris Cooke.
✨Our talented role model this month, Christine Sun Kim, discussed her experiences of education, why she chose to be a sound artist, and highlighted her exhibition, 1880 THAT.
