Events › Film Screening: Deaf Jam (2011)

Join us for a documentary film screening of Deaf Jam during Poetry and Deaf History Month in April. 

Deaf Jam is the story of deaf teen Aneta's bold journey into the spoken word slam scene. In a wondrous twist, Aneta, an Israeli immigrant living in the Queens section of New York City, eventually meets Tahani, a hearing Palestinian slam poet. The two artists embark on a collaboration creating a new form of slam poetry that speaks to both the hearing and the Deaf.
