Deaf Activist Explains Terps at Live Concerts

A Deaf activist explains the importance of interpreters at live concerts on The Kelly Clarkson Show.

BURBANK, California -- A Deaf activist and founder of advocacy group DEAFinitely Dope, Matt Maxey, explains how sign language interpreters are necessary for live music events and what it's like experiencing music as a Deaf person.

To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.

Matthew Maxey hails from Decatur, Georgia and currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia. Born with a severely profound hearing loss, and outfitted with hearing aids at 2 years old, it became apparent at an early age that life would be anything but ordinary.

Fast forward and Matthew attended the prestigious Gallaudet University in Washington, DC where he began to learn American Sign Language in an attempt to balance the struggle of developing his identity as a double minority in terms of ability and race.

In 2014, DEAFinitely Dope was founded as an idea based on providing support to those that felt marginalized and ignored by mainstream America.

DEAFinitely Dope started as a brand, and slowly blossomed into a movement, attracting the likes of educational institutions nationwide, CNN, ESPN The Undefeated, GQ, Cole Haan, ABC news, Chance The Rapper, MTV Video Music Awards, and countless more.

With both hearing and Deaf partnerships in play, Matt strives to continue to break barriers and defy the norms with a fresh perspective on interaction, inclusion, accessibility and equality, as awareness continues to grow.

Redeafination - Deaf Dancer & Choreographer

Can't hear? Not a problem for this Deaf dancer and choreographer from Redeafination.

SINGAPORE -- Roseanne was born Deaf, and is by nature shy and reserved. But when she discovered her passion for hip-hop 9 years ago, everything changed.

As a member of Redeafination - a dance group for both the Deaf and Hearing, she has found a new way to express herself. Now her mission is to shed light on the misconceptions people have of the Deaf.

“I want to show how Deaf people can also enjoy music and have fun," she says.

More about the series 'This is What I Hear': Four hard of hearing individuals - a boy going for ear surgery, a teenage athlete rising in her bowling career, a young dancer, and an accomplished pianist - let us into their lives to understand the challenges and misconceptions of the world of the Deaf.

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.
