Deaf Women Told Me
Deaf women, told me... It’s usually hearing people who produce research, books, movies about the deaf. If given the opportunity, what do deaf people would say about their lives, feelings and experiences? I am a deaf woman, yet deaf history have not been told to me. I met deaf women, I asked them to tell me their life story. My life. They attended the first and only school before 1973 (closing year) that was welcoming deaf girls in Quebec and New Brunswick. Since 1851, Sisters of Providence directed the Institut des sourdes-muettes de Montréal (Montreal Deaf-Mute Institute). This generation of deaf women knows each other in Quebec. They share a common history and a common language. They have told me their stories and now they are telling it to you. |
Hamule
In audio and videotapes from the 70s I encountered significant memories from my family in Palestine, which portray a brutal episode of the Israeli colonization in a land surrounded by war and pain. On one hand, Hamule reveals the historical and social implications of this eviction for those who were forced to leave their motherland. On the other hand, this documental uncovers the ways in which these traumatic events were “genetically” transmitted through generations of descendants, mostly born on the grounds of the country that now became their new homeland. |
