Event Description

Join us for a unique and interactive workshop on Visual Vernacular (VV) , where you could learn a new skill and craft visual stories. VV is a dynamic form of visual storytelling used in Deaf culture. It involves expressive body movements, and facial expressions to convey complex narratives and emotions, emphasizing dramatic and artistic elements. Unlike traditional sign language, which focuses on factual communication, VV creates vivid, engaging, and multi-dimensional stories. VV serves as a powerful cultural bridge for both Deaf and hearing people, making it a valuable artistic and educational tool. For deaf audiences, it connects deeply with the visual nature of their language and culture. For hearing audiences, it introduces them to the expressive potential of visual communication. It is a means of highlighting the richness of deaf performance art and offers a deeper understanding of how visual information can be effectively communicated without spoken language.
