Visual Poetry and Body Calligraphy

Visual Poetry and Body Calligraphy was organised by Jose Abad and supported by Deaf Ways, the Spanish Embassy and Khoj, based on interdisciplinary arts that blend Spanish poetry, photography, Indian sign language, body movement, and gesture. Visual Poetry and Body Calligraphy was a participatory community based art project implemented within the deaf community in New Delhi. The aim of the art project was to explore disability and representation through a range of different performative concepts. The goal was to explore the body as tool for language and visual communication.
