SUMMARY:Deaf Noise: Reframing the Art of Noise
DESCRIPTION:This is a Design and Disability program. Register here.\n\n\n\
 nJoin us for a two-part afternoon program exploring how Deaf creatives use
  American Sign Language (ASL) to design musical and cultural experiences
 —reframing music as visual\, spatial\, and embodied. Presented in conjun
 ction with the Art of Noise exhibition\, this program features a modera
 ted conversation and a live performance that highlights Deaf perspective
 s. The program celebrates Deaf-led innovation in music media and invites
  visitors to experience music as a designed cultural experience\, shaped 
 by visual language\, gesture\, and the body. \n\nFirst\, a moderated pane
 l of Deaf artists and designers will discuss how ASL functions not only a
 s a language\, but as a creative design tool that shapes rhythm\, emotion\
 , and narrative. Perspectives from Deaf Broadway\, ASL Slam\, Deaf DJ even
 ts\, and multi-media Directors of Artistic Sign Language will explore how 
 listening itself is a designed experience\, shaped by media\, language\, a
 nd culture.\n\nFollowing the conversation\, audiences are invited to exper
 ience a live performance by Deafinitely Dope that showcases ASL as a
  dynamic medium for musical design. Using signed language\, movement\, and
  visual composition\, the performance transforms music into a multisensory
  experience that emphasizes rhythm\, expression\, and connection—rather 
 than sound alone.
