Art often represents the personal perspectives of the artist as well as the artist's culture.
This is never more evident than in the works of most Deaf artists. Brenda Schertz, curator of a year-long, seven city national touring Deaf Art exhibition featuring the works of 16 Deaf artists, will discuss how or if Deaf Culture has influenced these artists. Deaf people make up a separate, distinct and proud culture. Deaf Art is like other genres of minority art in communicating universals of minority oppression and bonding. Deaf Art is created when the artist intends to express their Deaf experience through visual art.
