Bridging Worlds through Deaf Culture and hearing.

Location:
United Kingdom

The project fosters understanding and engagement through active participation and co-creation, documents interactions and explores the history and cultural background of the Deaf community to gain a deeper understanding of social context.
A key element of the project is a day workshop led by Deaf participants, where both Deaf and hearing individuals engage in non-verbal communication using sign language, written notes and body language.

Hearing participants learn basic sign language from Deaf community members and explore how music can be experienced through vibrations. The workshop also introduces the visual interpretation of music using sign language, with Deaf participants and interpreters working together to convey the emotions and meaning behind the music.

The insights and experiences from this project have been documented in a book, serving as a lasting record of this journey and a resource.
