Sign Language Literature

Sign Language Literature refers to creative works performed using sign language, including storytelling, poetry, drama, and multimedia productions, that express cultural experiences and artistic ideas within Deaf communities. It emphasizes the visual and spatial aspects unique to sign language, using gestures, facial expressions, and movement to convey meaning and emotion. This form of literature preserves and celebrates Deaf culture, enabling Deaf individuals to share stories and ideas in their natural language. It is a vibrant, expressive domain that combines linguistic richness with artistic innovation, fostering cultural identity and communication through visual storytelling.
