Christine Sun Kim has opened a new exhibition in London titled 1880 THAT, collaborating with Thomas Mader. The show uses a historic 1880 conference that outlawed sign language in Deaf education to discuss current issues of language stigma faced by Deaf and hearing communities. As part of this, Kim's work emphasizes the importance of understanding language beyond traditional narratives. In parallel, the report includes insights into other prominent art events, including teamLab’s immersive museum in Abu Dhabi and a discussion on Vermeer’s last painting, shedding light on various facets of contemporary art.
"The 1880 THAT exhibition confronts the damaging impacts of the Milan Conference on Deaf education, highlighting ongoing stigma in languages across Deaf and hearing cultures."
"Christine Sun Kim's approach to art transcends traditional boundaries, using her platform to engage deeply with issues surrounding Deaf identity and language."
