Deaf Culture

Most children learn their culture, heritage, and hero stories from their families. Deaf culture is unique, in that it is generally learned from people outside the child’s family, and often not until they are adults. There’s a loss of connectedness to a greater body because they’re surrounded by people who communicate differently and rarely encounter adults who see and interact with the world as they do. We want to point out some of the basics of Deaf culture, like social interaction and poetic expression. Our goal is to demystify the Deaf community for the hearing and introduce it to its younger members.
