Collections
“Sculptures in the Air” showcases videotapes that document the ASL (American Sign Language) literature movement in Rochester from 1972-2007. The recordings capture performances by Deaf poets such as Robert Panara, Clayton Valli, Debbie Rennie, Peter Cook, Ella Mae Lentz, and others performing and analyzing ASL literature works at national conferences, in the classroom, and on stage. This collection strives to be fully accessible: it is captioned, voiced, transcribed, and/or signed.
