Visual Vernacular and ASL Performances

Explore the excitement of Visual Vernacular, another literature genre unique to Deaf culture. It relies on gesture, role playing, iconic signs (as opposed to signs unique to ASL), body movement, and mime to tell a story—often a story that both educates and celebrates the culture. Your professor will share some visual vernacular as well as suggest other videos by famous performers you might want to check out.
