Do you hear music when you start talking? Artist Christine Sun Kim believes that speaking in American Sign Language is like performing a complex piece of music. Conversing in English is like playing a solitary note.

Join us on the International Day of Persons with Disabilities to explore Christine Sun Kim and Thomas Mader’s Tables and Windows and learn more about the experiences of the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community.

Led by Joyce Hom, Co-Founder and Executive Director of LoLoLook, this educational program will use the artists’ work as a backdrop for a broader conversation about accessibility and the ways museums can create more inclusive and welcoming experiences for visitors of all abilities.

ASL interpretation will be provided throughout the program.
