[ASL] No Lunch, but still exciting: Deaf Jam

[Amy Hambidge]

Hi all!

Just a reminder that we will NOT be having ASL Lunch tomorrow, the 16th, due to
the start of spring break.  Have a fabulous week, and we will see you on the
30th!

... But there's other exciting news!
- ASL Social, in Northampton, next Tuesday.  6:00pm, Local Burger (I believe,
but I don't have confirmation yet.  If it changes, I'll let you know).

-*Super exciting*:  The Pioneer Valley Jewish Film Festival is screening "Deaf
Jam" at Amherst College on Tuesday, March 27th (right after we get back from
break).  You really, really want to see this!  Summary below, flyer with all
the details attached.

Have a great break, and Happy Spring!!!
Peace,
Amy, Elisabeth, and Jessie

Deaf Jam

Tuesday, March 27
7:30 PM
Stirn Auditorium (Mead Art
Museum), Amherst College

Special guests: Film Subjects
Aneta Brodski and Tahani Salah

A celebration of the beauty of
American Sign Language, DEAF
JAM follows a deaf Jewish teen from
Queens as she finds her voice as a
slam poet. An Israeli immigrant, the
plucky and fiercely independent
Aneta Brodski is clearly a standout
at the Lexington School for the Deaf,
where she attends ASL poetry
improv workshops with her fellow
students. Her creativity propels her
to become one of the first deaf
competitors in a national poetry slam
contest. In an intriguing sociopolitical
twist, Aneta meets Tahani, a hearing
Palestinian slam poet, and the two
embark on a hearing/deaf performance
collaboration that mirrors the
complex realities they share.
