This special evening program celebrates the artistry of poetry: written, spoken, and signed. In Sound/Off, Deaf and hard-of-hearing poets writing in English join Deaf and hard-of-hearing poets making poems in American Sign Language on stage in the Guggenheim’s iconic rotunda to honor the richness and malleability of language in different hands and on different tongues. Conceived of by the Guggenheim’s 2024 Poet-in-Residence Meg Day, readers will be announced later this fall. This program will be fully interpreted in both spoken English and American Sign Language.
$10 general admission. The event (approx. 40 minutes) is designed to be experienced from various vantage points, including the museum ramps, which are standing room only. Limited seating will be reserved for those who require it. If you require seating, please contact [email protected] after purchasing your ticket.
