Deaf View Image Art

This painting is about Deaf View Image Art as in De’VIA. It shows three themes: resistance art, affirmative art and liberation art. These images represent Audism, Second Wave of Oralism, Paternalism, Submissive, Mask of Benevolence, Subaltern resistance and Empowerment. The artist had painted these images over the year, to show our Deaf human rights and the struggles that are seen repeatedly. This is what Deaf View Image Art is about in the painting. The hidden image in the painting shows the artist. And in fact, the painting itself is a self-portrait, the artist is looking at all the images, thinking about what can be done in the Deaf world.
