Christine Sun Kim

Ever wonder how to express sound in art? Christine is a Berlin-based artist who uses her art to advocate for the deaf community. She explores and deconstructs ideas of communication and sounds in society through her drawings, photographs, and performances that combine ASL, body language, and musical notation. In 2015, she gave a TED talk about her art and ASL which you can view here.
