and supported by *The Deaf Ways*
<
http://www.thedeafway.net/html_files/deafcultbot.htm>,
the *Spanish Embassy* and *KHOJ*. Based on interdisciplinary arts that
blend together Spanish poetry, photography, Indian sign language, body
movement, and gesture, Visual Poetry and Body Calligraphy was a
participatory community based art project implemented within the Deaf
community in New Delhi. The aim of the art project was to explore
disability and representation through a range of different performative
concepts. The goal was to explore the body as tool for language and
visual communication.
