Part1

Tues July 19, 4-6pm. @ VIVO Media Arts Centre (2625 Kaslo Street, Kaslo St, Vancouver, BC V5M 3G9)

Presentation/seminar on American Sign Language (ASL), its grammar and history. In this seminar, discussion about misguidance and oppression of Deaf Culture will take place as it is critical to question domination of power, identity subordination and inequality of the human rights that Deaf people experience on daily basis. By criticizing and conversing on violence that Deaf citizens face, we hope to define Deaf identity and strengthen their voice.
