Deaf Material

Christine Sun Kim

Deaf Material is an artist book by Christine Sun Kim that interweaves the artist’s writings with hundreds of photographs to investigate and document Deaf imagery in American mainstream culture. Kim’s photographs document a broad range of images spanning from pop culture to internet memes to disability signage and vernacular pamphlets to personal ephemera. In addition to drawing from Kim’s personal collection of photographs, the book will also incorporate images from the extensive institutional archives of Gallaudet University, the first college for Deaf and hard of hearing students in the world.
