Its artistic director, Connor Yuzwenko-Martin, defines “Deaf-centric” as “any form of expression that comes from a life lived through sign language, lip-reading, captions, and anything else that sets one outside the mainstream hearing culture.” In partnership with The Invisible Practice, a roster of Deaf artists will perform Deaf, ASL & Visual Vernacular forms of poetry!
