Gaetano Rallo
It is very important that Deaf Culture, which is often hidden, be handed down. Today there are many Deaf people in Italy and it is good that our Culture is spread.
Our art is not represented in museums. I want my photographs to be able to be exhibited, I want visibility, and I would like my Deaf colleagues' works to be usable as well. I would really like no one to back down! I want our art to be free, open and shared!
The experience of the Murlo Museum on Deaf Culture is very interesting - it is an important example. It would be nice if this event could be replicated in other cities, all over Italy.
I know many deaf people, friends, acquaintances, photographers, painters, sculptors, artists, and I would like them to gain visibility as well.
Photography with us is articulated through new points of view: not having access to the auditory channel, our visual attention is more developed, our ability to perceive images and details through the eyes is honed and immediate.
Bye!
