EXHIBITION

Join us to explore artworks that offer diverse perspectives on the experiences of disabled artists/mothers and disabled artists/caregivers, highlighting how deafness and disability shape the experience of caregiving, parenting, and motherhood, while challenging assumptions and stereotypes.

Among the 20 works in the exhibition are pieces by artists with connections to the Rochester Institute of Technology / National Institute of the Deaf (RIT/NTID), including

  • Patti Durr, retired associate professor in NTID’s Department of Culture and Creative Studies

  • Laural Hartman, lecturer in NTID’s Department of Visual Communication Studies

  • The late Melissa Skyer, former senior lecturer in NTID’s Department of Science and Mathematics
