The event focuses on audism.
Audism refers to decades of discrimination of Deaf People. Hearing and speaking are define what is seen as normal. Deaf people are seen as having a defecit, and sign language is devalued. Are hearing poeple so self-assured that they ignore audism? When do conflicts start? How does the Deaf Community relate to queer-feminsim? And to racism?
We are engaging with conflicts within and beyond the Deaf Community. This involves reflection on the KLIRRRRR festival and to Caring for Conflict.
