Artistic action as a means for the social visibility of the deaf community.
Abstract
This article is an approach to the narrative-based research titled Look at me, I want to talk to you. Visibility and social interaction of the deaf community through artistic action. From the analysis of socio-educational mediation work through the arts with the group, and from repeatedly recounting the process, results, and conclusions reached over the years of working with them, this narrative approach emerges. Through it, the need to take a further step becomes evident—namely, to narrate.
Based on a series of artistic practices carried out with the Provincial Association of Deaf People of Jaén, the collection of their results, and the awareness of the need to create a communication channel with people outside the community—so that society can better understand the reality of this community and the individuals within it—the idea arose to create a public exhibition showcasing the work produced with APROSOJA.
It could be said that this article presents a creative research process, structured narratively. It is an inquiry that has led me to the exhibition format, which appears to offer a solution to the visibility issue that so deeply concerns the community. In other words, it seeks to answer the question: Can artistic action serve as a means for the visibility and social interaction of the deaf community with the rest of society?
