SUMMARY:ASL Slam
DESCRIPTION:\n\nTime: 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM\n\nTickets: For more information\, 
 click here.\n\nJoin us for ASL Slam\, a platform that offers the stage to 
 performers and audience members to come up and rap\, rhapsodize\, and reha
 sh in American Sign Language (ASL). For this special edition of ASL Slam i
 n conjunction with the exhibition Christine Sun Kim: Time Owes Me Rest Aga
 in (March 13\, 2022 – January 31\, 2023) at Queens Museum\, performers w
 ill creatively respond to the piece by Kim\, as well as works on view by a
 rtists Xaviera Simmons and Charisse Pearlina Weston. We’re thrilled to w
 elcome ASL Slam Executive Director Douglas Ridloff as MC and performer\, a
 longside artists\, performers\, and poets Kaylyn Aaron-Lozano\, Joey Anton
 io\, James Caverly\, Traz Freeman\, Amelia Hensley\, Andrew Morrill\, and 
 Gabriel Silva.\n\nASL Slam brings together established Deaf poets and perf
 ormers to share their material with a wider community\, and also offers th
 e stage to audience members. Slam is a safe space for the Deaf community t
 o play\, experiment and share in their native American Sign Language. Buil
 ding off the momentum and community engagement of ASL Slam’s monthly sho
 ws\, we seek to expand the reach and potential of ASL Slam as a catalyst f
 or new artistic production in American Sign Language. Recognizing the need
  for more opportunities for Deaf creatives\, as well as the lack of educat
 ional resources for Deaf children\, ASL Slam seeks to expand its scope thr
 ough four main project initiatives: Educational Programs\, Artist Residenc
 es\, Digital Archives\, and an expansion of ASL Slam’s monthly events.\n
 \nUnder the leadership of Douglas Ridloff\, ASL Slam has collaborated on p
 rojects\, workshops and events with the Whitney Museum\, the Jewish Museum
 \, Bowery Poetry Club\, the Nuyorican Poets Cafe\, The Center for the Huma
 nities at CUNY Graduate Center and many more. ASL Slam continues to mainta
 in its monthly event in New York City\, now hosted at the Nuyorican Poets 
 Cafe and the Bowery Poetry Club. ASL Slam will resume in Orlando.
