金順克（音譯）: 手語也能發出迷人聲音

手語也能發出迷人聲音

藝術家金順克 (Christine Sun Kim) 一出生便聽不見，而她被教導聲音並不是她生活的一部分，聲音是給聽得見的人的。透過她的藝術，她發現 ASL（美國手語）和音樂的微妙關係，她發現聲音不單能透過耳朵，也可以透過感覺、視覺和經驗來啟發。在這場優異的演講中，她邀請大家敞開眼耳，一同發現視覺語言的無限寶藏。

Sign language can be as expressive and nuanced as any musical composition, challenging the idea that sound must be heard to be understood. Growing up deaf, the artist learned to perceive and even create sound by observing others' reactions and etiquette, turning these experiences into art. By blending American Sign Language with musical concepts, she showed that movement and visual expression can carry meaning as rich as speech. Her work calls for recognizing sign language as its own form of cultural and social currency, not just an alternative to sound.
