In observation of National Deaf History Month (March 13th- April 15th), we are celebrating deaf/hard of hearing artists and De’VIA. De’VIA, abbreviated from Deaf View/Image Art is art that takes on the perspective and tells the story of deaf experiences from a “cultural, linguistic and intersectional point of view”. As described by the Museum of Deaf, the 4 elements of De’VIA is outlined above in the last slide. De’VIA movement was first established in 1989 by 9 artists, Betty G. Miller, Chuck Baird, Guy Wonder, Susan Dupor, Harry Williams, Tony MacGregor, and Ann Silver. 2 of the co-founders, Ann Silver and Chuck Baird are featured above.

Chuck Baird’s career stretched over 35 years and comprised of renown artistry including sculpting, painting, acting and storytelling. He also spent much of his time working to bring deaf art culture into deaf schools and camps.

Rosalyn Watson is a Black deaf artist of today who uses various art modes including oil painting, acrylics, watercolor, illustration ink pens and black & white pencils. Her work tells the lives of her family and people from generations’ past, present and future.

Ann Silver is known as one of the leaders in seeking inclusion and social justice for the Deaf artist community and Deaf art to be apart of art spaces and in academia. Her artistry includes graphic design, illustrations, logo design, Deaftoons and art direction.

Posted • Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was revered for many reasons, but one of the most important was his ability to see goodness and instill hope. So on this day that honors Dr. King, we would like to celebrate his legacy by sharing this quote:
"Something is happening in our world. And you know, if I were standing at the beginning of time, with the possibility of taking a kind of general and panoramic view of the whole of human history up to now, and the Almighty said to me, "Martin Luther King, which age would you like to live in?" Strangely enough, I would turn to the Almighty, and say, "If you allow me to live just a few years in the second half of the 20th century, I will be happy." Now that's a strange statement to make, because the world is all messed up. The nation is sick. Trouble is in the land; confusion all around. That's a strange statement. But I know, somehow, that only when it is dark enough can you see the stars."

We're also sharing an excerpt from Alvin Ailey’s 'Three Black Kings,' a work that honors Dr. King along with Balthazar, the black king of the Nativity, and Solomon, King of Israel.
