SUMMARY:Visual Vernacular
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a unique and interactive workshop on Visual Vernacu
 lar (VV) \, where you could learn a new skill and craft visual stories.\n\
 nVV is a dynamic form of visual storytelling used in Deaf culture. It invo
 lves expressive body movements\, and facial expressions to convey complex 
 narratives and emotions\, emphasizing dramatic and artistic elements. Unli
 ke traditional sign language\, which focuses on factual communication\, VV
  creates vivid\, engaging\, and multi-dimensional stories.\n\nVV serves as
  a powerful cultural bridge for both Deaf and hearing people\, making it a
  valuable artistic and educational tool. It is a means of highlighting the
  richness of Deaf performance art and offers a deeper understanding of how
  visual information can be effectively communicated without spoken languag
 e.\n\nThe performers will introduce the basics of Visual Vernacular follow
 ed by a captivating demonstration. With their guidance\, you will have the
  opportunity to explore and experiment with VV creating your own visual st
 ory!\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nImage Credits: Ashwin Babu
