“I doubt whether people are more curious about anything in life than other people especially other people with another culture. This is especially true for relatively invisible cultures like Deaf Culture. How are outsiders to learn about it—to learn even the rudiments; for example that there is such a culture?”
—Harlan Lane
deafinition, a year-long research-intensive project, hopes to broaden perspectives of human differences within the Deaf Community. It seeks to promote awareness of a linguistic minority through a sampling from For Hearing People Only: Fourth Edition by Mathew S. Moore & Linda Levitan; a book focused on the most commonly asked questions regarding the Deaf Reality. Through an illustrative process of drawing and designing introductory American Sign Language signs, a website and zine share the beauty of language with all of humanity to educate and eliminate barriers.
