This programme brings to the audiences India's first group of deaf performers demonstrating ISL Poems and Visual Vernacular (VV), called ISL Jam. This event will highlight the unique and vibrant aspects of Visual Vernacular, marking a significant milestone in its promotion and appreciation in the Indian context.

Sign Language Poems are a form of artistic expression where poetry is performed using sign language, and a combination of visual imagery, expressive body movements, and facial expressions.

Visual Vernacular (VV) is a dynamic form of visual storytelling used in Deaf culture involving expressive body movements, facial expressions, and sign language to convey complex narratives and emotions.

Please note that this programme has been specially curated for people with a hearing impairment.
