Deaf Artists and Deaf Art: Overview

This guide assists you in finding information about Deaf Artists in various formats. There is also information about De'VIA (as interpreted by Durr), a form of Deaf Art that reveals the Deaf experience, showing pride in sign language and Deaf culture (affirmative art) and 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 discover affirmative art. You can check out the Deaf Studies Program on the Department of Liberal Studies website. Credit goes to Patricia Durr for developing the Deaf Art/Artists collection. Thank you, Patti!
