Sign language poetry
Sign language poetry is a creative form of expression that uses the visual and gestural nature of sign language to convey emotions, stories, and artistic imagery. It incorporates elements like rhythm, movement, and facial expressions to enhance meaning and engage the audience visually. Unlike spoken poetry, which relies on sound, sign language poetry communicates through the body and spatial dynamics, making it a unique art form. It reflects the cultural identities and experiences of the Deaf community, showcasing the depth and richness of their language and perspectives. Sign language poetry can be performed in front of audiences and can be a powerful medium for advocacy and storytelling.
