Visual artist, poet, and performer Douglas Ridloff brings his monthly ASL SLAM to the Jewish Museum. An exploration of portraiture, expressions of self, and experimental forms of sign language, audience members will investigate how we perceive ourselves and others while breaking free from the daily restraints of sign language. Through the use of images and literary prompts, Ridloff celebrates the vernacular tradition of American Sign Language and engages the audience to create collaborative poetry and stories. To learn more about ASL SLAM, watch this video.
All Access Programs are free of charge and require advance reservation. Please contact access@thejm.org or 212.423.3289 for more information or to register.
