Publishing Deaf stories creates space for voices that deserve to be seen, shared, and remembered
Miss E Editions magazines are released monthly and focus on celebrating and analysing Deaf perspectives, creativity, and community knowledge. As well as sprinkled with personal reflections and life journey.
Deaf art is more than representation but a way of seeing, knowing, and interpreting the world
Deaf Art Theory is how Deaf ways of knowing influence artistic practice, interpretation, and meaning-making. The role of visual experience, cultural identity, and access is highly influential in shaping Deaf people’s artistic expression. As well how Deaf artists bring diverse perspectives bring to contemporary art.
Hands sign and faces reflect, mirroring each other and the space between is poetry.
Sign language poetry embraces the richness of visual language as a creative and literary form. Movement, rhythm, space, and expression work together to communicate ideas, emotions, and cultural experiences that are uniquely rooted in Deaf languages and communities. It is a play of language on hands.
Putting thoughts and feelings flowing through written words is freeing and euphoric.
Written poetry is a battle of the mind as often it is navigating your own raw feelings, choosing the right words then revising each word and line over and over again.
Written poetry has its own special place as written langauge is so powerful and words can feel like living beings either caressing or slapping you accross the face.
On the stage, stories are not simply told they are seen, felt, and experienced.
Deaf Theatre explores the relationship between performance, language, and cultural expression.
Visual storytelling, sign languages, and shared experiences create meaningful connections between artists and audiences, while challenging traditional assumptions about theatre and participation.
Being Deaf is to navigate many worlds shaped by both difference and connection.
Disabled or not? explores the complex relationship of being Deaf with identity, ability, and belonging.
Being Deaf often means holding dual membership: as a person with a disability and as part of a linguistic and cultural minority.
This pillar explores the richness of Deaf identity, the power of language, and the ways knowledge, access, and community shape our understanding of ourselves and others. It examines how diverse lived experiences challenge narrow assumptions about what it means to participate, contribute and thrive.
