This guide assists you in finding information about Deaf Artists in a variety of formats. There is also information about De'VIA, a form of Deaf Art which reveal the Deaf experience, showing pride in sign language and Deaf culture (affirmative art) as well as painful experiences of oppression (resistance art). A recommended website with over 100 Deaf Artists is available. It is called Deaf Art/Deaf Artists. If you are writing a paper about audism, you can find resistance art, and if writing about Deaf-Gain, you can find affirmative art. Patricia Durr teaches this course and you can check out the Deaf Studies Program. There are minors and immersions options.
Look up deaf artists or De'VIA topics on Youtube. Here is a Youtube video of Chuck Baird. We have the DVD.
