Deaf Culture: Celebration & Awareness–Deaf Representation and Deaf-led Story Telling

Deaf talent, acting, CODAs, representation… recent films and awards have brought national attention to Deafness and centered it in our cultural dialogue. Let’s gather *in-person* to have a conversation about “Deaf Representation and Deaf-Led Storytelling.” What would it mean to have more Deaf folks involved in storytelling and film making, not just in terms of acting but also all the other parts of writing and production? After viewing a short captioned film to spark our thoughts, Dr. Rachel Kolb will lead us in a TED-style presentation. Discussion and light refreshments to follow. Free and open to the public, with ASL interpretation. Questions? info@heathmere.org
