Resistance
The image reflects my childhood experience in a repressive oral classroom
when I was a young child. During one of those oral speech sessions with my
Deaf classmates, we were assigned to sit at the table with an oral teacher
ƐŝƚƚŝŶŐŝŶĨƌŽŶƚŽĨƵƐ͘dŽŵLJŽƌĂůƚĞĂĐŚĞƌ͛ƐĚŝƐŵĂLJ͕/ŬĞƉƚŽŶƵƐŝŶŐŵLJŶĂƚƵƌĂů
homemade hand signs, which were banned, to communicate with my class-‐
mates. My teacher disciplined me by taping one of my hands to the table to
prevent me from using my hand signs with my classmate and leaving my
other hand free so she can use my free hand to feel her voice box when she
was teaching me speech. I was born with natural instinct to use my hands
and eyes to communicate so I kept on resisting her demand and continued
to use my free hand to communicate with my classmates. At last, she taped
my free hand to the table. I kept getting in trouble with oral teacher a lot
until I went to another school that used sign language.
This image, Resistance͕ƐŚŽǁƐŵLJƐĞůĨĂƐĂLJŽƵŶŐĐŚŝůĚǁŝƚŚ͞LJĞ,ĂŶĚ͟ŚĞĂĚ
to symbolize my natural instinct to be a person of eyes and hands. One of
my hands got strapped and locked on the table but I continue to resist oral
speech lesson by using my free hand with a hammer to smash the wind-‐up
oral chattering teeth toy.
This is a message saying that some Deaf children today are still trapped in
oral classrooms across the country like I once was.

• Arnaud
Balard
of
France
proposed
Surdism,
which
is
similar
to
De’VIA
but
includes
other
genres.
• “We,
surdists,
let
propose
to
express
ourselves
by
literature,
theatre,
cinema,
painQng,
sculpture
or
any
other
form
of
expression
by
exploring
all
the
touches,
of
near
and
by
far
..the
Deaf
people
and
their
place
in
social
space.”
