This is a project revolving around deaf people, the hard-of-hearing and CODA (children of deaf adults) who converse via visual language (Japanese sign language). Together with people who have different physicalities and sensory worlds, we create opportunities for generating communication from the starting point of the physical sensibilities and “language” of the individual. While reexamining the culture that has developed through sign language, and tracing theperspectives and words associated with it, we study and develop approaches to the question of how people with diverse
backgrounds communicate with each other based on acknowledgment of their cultural differences.
