Deaf Culture is important - I am part of this world, which is a mostly visual and emotionally rich environment.
I know of no museums of Deaf Culture. I wish there were some on the national territory! They could organize different exhibitions, not only photographic ones, and it would be valuable for our identity.
This exhibition that tells about our Culture, is essential: the (hearing) public will be able to immerse themselves in our art, receive information, see our works. It will be like an explosion of emotions! The world of the Deaf will finally have visibility.
This is a necessary signal. I hope it is just the beginning of a larger process.
Photography says so much about the way we observe reality, about our our sensitivity. The image is a strong response.
Our gaze is attentive. Through photography we can really bring out our culture.
