Deaf Sound Artist Christine Sun Kim Interview

How Christine Sun Kim, Deaf Sound Artist, Hears Everything.


Christine Sun Kim’s work is an expression of the spaces between sound and silence the many dimensions that are overlooked simply because no one can hear them.

For artist Christine Sun Kim, sound has many personalities. The Master of Fine Arts-holding TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) fellow, who has exhibited at Museum of Modern Art, held residencies at the Whitney Museum and most recently was guest artist at the MIT Media Lab, is challenging conventional ideas about sound through her art.


On a sleepy Sunday in Moabit, Berlin, I meet Kim, a petite 34-year-old with dyed blond hair tightly pulled back. Deaf since she was born, Kim exudes an energy that belies her silence, greeting me with a hug and kiss, before darting into the kitchen to make tea. We sit down and Skype to communicate, but there’s no need for video.

For the past seven years, Kim has lived between New York City and Berlin. But it was not until 2008, during an arts residency in gritty Berlin, that she began to consider sound as her next medium.

“I noticed how sound art was a thing and became intrigued about the concept. I am always drawn to conceptual art and the ideas behind a piece or installation,” she said.

“For me, sound had always been an idea an intangible space that separated me from others so I was curious about how art could transcend sound and vice versa.”

Kim, who was a visual artist at the time, gradually realized that she wanted to explore sound. And it totally freaked her out... Read more: Read The Full Story.

Deaf Art Community - I'M POSSIBLE

Deaf Art Community Jogja group hip hop bisu tuli from Indonesia.

“In nature there’s no blemish but the mind, none can be called deformed but unkind” (William Shakespeare in Twelfth Night Act III Scene IV)


Never has God created imperfect people, or what-is-so-called ‘disabled’. People who call them as disabled are the most cruel people. God created people with the highest perfection and having the same right to develop their potentials to gain wealth.

Until these days, the lives of disabled people and Deaf people in Indonesia are still marginalized both structurally and culturally. There is injustice to get their rights for education, jobs, health, social, culture, law, access for information, and public facilities use. In other word, there is discrimination toward disabled people in the society. Attitudes towards disability are quite bad in Indonesia, and there is a lingering association of impairment with wrong-doing.

Most people are embarrassed about disability, and Deaf children are sometimes hidden away, especially in rural areas. Some of the Deaf people in the organisations we work with say their parents let them come to meetings in the hope that they will ‘become normal’ by forbidding them from using sign language. Faced with negative attitudes like this, Deaf children often grow up to have low self-esteem and little self-confidence.

Too many people are busy with their own importance; trying to get more money, chasing better carriers, and thinking to get higher positions, or even cheating for their own sakes as they have forgotten their surroundings that need their hands.

Through this paper, I would like to invite people to step into the proud of, emergent DEAF-WORLD and learn about its language, values, history, and concerns and to see a ‘real world’ surround us, but might have not been seen or heard by our very own eyes & ears to ‘open’ other people’s eyes to see a Deaf community that is considered as a minor-marginal-community in Indonesia as disabled people, while not many people realize that Deaf community is not disabled people but they see themselves as ‘language minority group’ who are fighting to get their right of sign language as their first mother tongue language.

Through our presentation, we will guide all of you to have a wonderful journey tour into the Deaf world in Indonesia, their Deaf culture, sign language, Deaf education and their life. We will have it through our interactive workshop, to give you an opportunity to experience a little of what the works is like for a Deaf person.

In everyday like, Deaf people try to overcome barriers to communication in an environment that is designed to meet needs of hearing people. We hope that this workshop will provide a valuable insight into the life of Deaf people.

By attending the workshop, you will gain a better understanding of how to communicate with deaf people (communication strategies), how to be Deaf like is, some basic Indonesian sign, how Deaf enjoy the music and culture art in theatre. Indonesia News video clip: Deaf Art Community Jogja.

Deaf Jam At The Nine Community Cinema

Deaf community responds about ASL short movie 'Deaf Jam' at the Nine Community Cinema.

On October 13, 2011, Nine Community Cinema in St. Louis Missouri held a public screening of "Deaf Jam," at the Missouri History Museum.


In Deaf Jam, Aneta Brodski seizes the day. She is a Deaf teen introduced to American Sign Language (ASL) Poetry, who then boldly enters the spoken word slam scene. In a wondrous twist, Aneta, an Israeli immigrant living in the Queens section of New York City, eventually meets Tahani, a hearing Palestinian slam poet.

The two women embark on a collaboration/performance duet creating a new form of slam poetry that speaks to both the hearing and the Deaf.

Nine Academy Community Producer, Marcos Chu recorded these two personal stories after the screening. You can learn more about the Nine Community Cinema film series at: https://ninenet.org/community-cinema.

Deaf Chinese Is The Best Art Performance

Deaf Chinese People's Performing Art Troupe, "Thousand-Hand Guan Yin" Guan Yin is a Chinese Goddess.


BEIJING, China -- Feeling music through speakers and guided by hand gestures, a troupe of Deaf dancers in Beijing, China take steps to champion the rights of disabled people across the world.

"Being Deafness, these disabled female performers endure pain and suffering in vigorous training, simply to deliver a message of love to mankind."


Guanyin or Kwanyin (aka), the Goddess of Mercy also known by Westerners as the Chinese Goddess of love and compassion has long occupied a unique place not only in Buddhism, but also in Chinese culture. The Chinese word "Guanyin is an abbreviation of "Guan shi yin" which denotes" seeing the voice of the world if rendered literally. Such a deity can be called as the deity who looks in every direction or the "Regarder of the cries of suffering beings".

According to legend, Guanyin, the youngest daughter of a king, defied her father when he sought a husband for her. The angry king sent her away to a monastery with instructions that she should be compelled to obey. This only strengthened her resolve. So the king set fire to the monastery and ordered her execution when she was caught sitting erect reciting sutras. As she was about to be beheaded, the sword broke into two and a tiger from nowhere carried her away to a forest.

One day from afar she saw the king was sick and not responding to treatment, so she severed her arms and eyes to sacrifice them for him. The grieved king besought heaven and earth to make his daughter whole again. Soon, Guanyin had arms and eyes by the thousand, and bowing before her father, she urged him to practise good deeds to which the king readily agreed.

Actually legends have Guanyin in various forms. But the story of the Goddess in this one-thousand-hand form has had an immense appeal. Thus the thousand-hand deity is no longer an exclusive religious symbol but has become a popular cultural icon to religious followers and common folks alike.

The legendary Thousand-hand Guanyin as interpreted by the special artists plucked the heartstrings of the audience. In their rendition of the legendary goddess, they not only demonstrated their superb dancing skills in perfect unison with elegant and forceful movements, but attained a ye higher level to turn it into a live myth full of artistic appeal and stirring power on the stage.

Though we only saw one leading dancer on the stage, we saw in our mind's eye a whole collective where 21 troupe members fused together as one human being with one shared heart. What we saw on the stage was the one Thousand-hand Guanyin, serene, holy and beautiful, that existed in each of the dancers' hearts. While enjoying the colourful performance, we experienced a profound sense of tranquility and composure, a process of cleansing and purification of our souls.

We spetators can hardly imagine how much time and effort these artists must have invested in bringing about such a unique work of art. And only a collective with all its crew members bound together in unity, harmony and friendliness could make it.

The image of the Thousand-hand Guanyin is symbolic of maternal love and infinite compassion.

And the enlightenment we gain from the performance itself is that people with disabilities are also creators of both material and spiritual wealth. Such a spirit of perseverance in pursuing and creating a better life in the face of adversity should be followed by all of us.

The Real Story of Deaf Teenage Girl

The real story of Deaf Korean teenage girl in a picture.

English description: This is the real story about Deaf teenage girl in South Korea painting of herself goes viral in a few years ago.

The story is about a Deaf Korean girl, her name is Sonee and she was the best artist student at Deaf school in Seoul, and suddenly shortly before she committed suicide, she drew this picture, and scanned it and posted it online.

The freaky bit is this, they say it is hard for a person to stare into the girl's eyes for longer than 5 minutes...there are reports that some people have taken thier own lives after doing so...people says the picture changes.


Therefore, in South Korea this story broke out and it spread like wildfire. There are various posts around in Korean forums that say that the viewer gets drawn to the girl's blue eyes, they say they can detect a hint of wraith and sadness within the eyes. Maybe the girl had died with so much sadness and anger that her spirit haunts the image, or maybe the image provokes sadness.

Can you tell it? But first at all, you have to click full screen of this video and do not move your eyes, just stare at the picture and you will notice that the picture is suddenly changing.
