Deaf Creative Leadership
In June, 2024 we staged a conversation between 3 of the most prominent D/deaf creative leaders in Canada currently:
David Bobier – hard of hearing deaf innovator and founder of Vibrafusionlab and development co-ordinator for Sync in Canada
Connor Yuzwenko Martin – Deaf Comms expert and founder of Invisible Practice Sync Alumni, Sync Quebec
3.Dr Jenelle Rouse – dance mixed media Deaf Artist and Educator MultiLens Sync Alumni, Sync Ontario
Working alongside Toronto based Deaf filmmaker Alexa Hickox we made a 30-minute film exploring the experiences both good and bad for Deaf creatives in Canada including:
-working alone and in collaboration – having both to keep afloat and to enable creative research and risk taking
-limiting and limited resources – the importance of Deaf community sharing wisdoms, experiences and opportunities and challenging the mainstream
-managing energy – how best to assess potentially draining scenarios and to say ‘no’ to things that won’t allow for Deaf leaders to sustain their mental health and wellbeing alongside their self-belief.
The film has in ASL, LSQ and captions There is an Audio Description introduction.
