Hi all,

I hope you all had a great spring break. The ASL & Deaf Culture Club will
be meeting tonight at 6 in Chase/Duckett.... Iooking forward to seeing you
all and signing about our breaks.

Also-- Deaf Jam is playing tomorrow at Amherst College! And the stars of
the film will be there! I am definitely planning to go, and will probably
be driving, so we can carpool. This is a really cool opportunity. We can
make more detailed plans tonight at the meeting. If you cannot make the
meeting tonight, but want to go tomorrow with the group, email me at
shoops at smith.edu, and we'll let you know what's happening.

See you later!
Sarah

Special Guests! Film Subjects Aneta Brodski & 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. Utilizing innovative animation and high-energy editing to
convey the power of sign poetry, filmmaker Judy Lieff aims to revitalize a
three-dimensional language and endangered art form.
