Stories of people who are deaf and hard-of-hearing

Prism Project - reception

Gordon Snelgrove Gallery

Event

As an invisible disability, the experience of being non-culturally deaf or hard-of-hearing is often processed as a private internal experience. By coming together to share their stories, the participants in Prism Project found common ground through similarities and a broadening of perspectives through differences.

The gallery exhibition of Prism Project includes portraits, personal stories and videos of ASL translations for each participant; some participants have also contributed original artworks. Prism Project originated as a web project led by Sarah Vermette, in collaboration with community partner, Saskatchewan Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services with the intent of acting as a portal for deaf/hard-ofhearing people to share their stories ( http://www.prismproject.ca ).

co-curated by Susan Shantz and Sarah Vermette closing reception: Friday, November 10, 7 – 9pm
