Deaf Joy as resistance

In the summer of 2020, Upset Homegirls co-founder, Brandy Factory said that, “Black Joy affirms that I am not a victim. I am an agent of change. It rejects the idea that violence, … injustice, discrimination, prejudice, and dominance over others are normal and acceptable actions.”

Deaf joy is the same.

This is a recurring theme in my life and my art and this little zine is a selection of images I have drawn around this theme.
