Armenian Sign Language: a hidden culture
Armenian Institute
1 Onslow Street, London EC1N 8AS
Please join us for an immersive workshop of introduction to Armenian Sign Language. How does sign language function? How is it perceived and experienced? Why does Armenian Sign Language matter for culture, education, and future generations in the Armenian Deaf Community? How does the community deal with migration, language shifts or new technologies?
You will learn about the Deaf Armenian community and its current challenges from Greg Avetisyan, Chevening Scholar studying social and public policy at The University of York. Greg will open up a window for us all towards the hidden gem that is Armenian Sign Language, an often invisible yet vital part of the Armenian cultural and linguistic heritage.
This session is not designed as a language course, and no prior knowledge of sign language is required. Through a mix of short contextual insights and hands-on, artistic exercises, participants will engage with visual communication. We will discuss Deaf social behaviour, storytelling, and the embodied nature of sign language in Armenia and the UK.
Please email erica@armenianinstitute.org.uk if you require any sign language translation of this event or have any other questions.
