Hardeep Singh, Sunil Sahasrabudhe
As part of celebrations during the International Week for Deaf People (IWDP), we’re excited to delve into the world of sign language and its profound connections to art.
In this event, Sunil Sahasrabudhe, Founder and CEO of SIGNEX and the President of the All India Federation of the Deaf, will take us on a journey through the fascinating history of Indian Sign Language (ISL). This will be followed by Hardeep Singh, Inclusion Coordinator at MAP exploring the artistic dimensions of sign language and looking at how sign language has inspired and influenced artistic expressions.
