We were lucky enough to have the Deaf Heritage Collective deliver a workshop at DYT. The challenge was to create a deaf museum of the future.
From card, miniature props, paper and pen the group created 2 deaf museums. Look out for photo covered floors, talking holograms and deaf dinosaurs!

We were split into 2 teams.
The teams using basic materials start to build their museums.
Marta from the Deaf Heritage Collective is given an insight into an idea.
There is more to museums than old stuff like this.
Getting messy.
Deep in thought putting the final touches together.
The groups then explained their ideas.
Key themes included activism, oppression, deaf identity through BSL, deaf dinosaurs, footballers and astronauts.
