ARTSEED+ Interconnection
Gallaudet University is a private federally chartered research university in Washington, D.C. for the education of the deaf and hard of hearing. https://gallaudet.edu
This is our first virtual Deaf Art Exhibition titled “ARTSEED+ Interconnection” between the United States of America (USA) and China, in celebration of the United Nations’ “International Day of Persons with Disabilities” on December 3rd. We believe that the physical distance between the USA and China, and COVID-19 pandemic will not stop us from getting our dose of different cultures. The virtual art exhibition will share perspectives of Deaf experience, convey unique cultures and messages through multiple mediums. (Please keep scrolling for more information below).
The exhibition includes several overlapping subjects: Diversity, Cross-Cultural Experience, Deaf Culture, Marginalized Art, and Disability Experience. As co-curators, Jiayi Zhou and Tracey Salaway collaborate selecting artworks from different artists with various purposes and each work has its own unique taste and shared experience through art form. Their works display beautiful human expression that we are here to share their stories today. We would like to encourage you to pay close attention to their works of art created by Deaf artists.
Each artist presents a bilingual artist statement. Written language on screen and American/Chinese Sign Language (ASL/CSL) on video. When you begin exploring the 3D exhibition space, you will be able to click and press on the I (eye) symbol and select the black arrow symbol to view the ASL/CSL artist statement video link. Thank you for visiting.
我们第一次举办“艺术种子+互联”的聋人艺术虚拟联展,以庆祝12月3日联合国的国际残疾人日。我们相信,中美之间的距离以及COVID-19疫情不能阻止我们接触不同的文化。虚拟艺术展将分享聋人生活体验的视角,通过多种媒介传达独特的文化和信息。
这次画展包括一些重叠话题:多样性、跨文化体验、聋人文化、边缘化艺术和残疾人体验。作为策展人,周佳艺和Tracey Salaway从不同聋人艺术家那里挑选带有各种目的性的作品,每件作品都有他们自己独特的审美特征,并通过艺术形式分享经验。他们的作品展现人性之美的表达形式,我们今天在这里分享他们的故事。我们鼓励您密切关注聋人艺术家创作的艺术作品。
每位艺术家都会有各自的双语(手语和书面文字)艺术家自述。当您开始参观3D画展空间时,可以单击黑色箭头符号以查看美国手语版本或中国手语版本的艺术家自述。
谢谢您来参观。
