#DEAFWOKE
URBAN JAZZ DANCE COMPANY
March 3 – May 17 | Opening March 13
UJDC’s residency program at 836M, #DeafWoke: Communication in Conversation, will center on communication and conversation, celebrating meaningful dialogue between Deaf and hearing communities through accessible and immersive discussions. The project explores how different artistic mediums—dance, painting, sculpture, and music—can foster communication, build bridges, and transcend traditional barriers.
At the heart of the residency is #DeafWoke: Communication in Conversation, an extension of Antoine Hunter’s acclaimed live-stream show, #DeafWoke, which has sparked global dialogue between Deaf and hearing artists. These interviews will take place in person for the first time, offering an intimate opportunity to share stories and experiences while showcasing artists’ work—paintings, sculptures, music, and literature—that communicate Deaf culture, accessibility, and shared challenges.

Multisensory Dialogue
June 5 – August 21
Multisensory Dialogue is an ongoing collaborative inquiry between three artists deeply rooted in dramatically different forms of media – the auditory (Danny Clay, composer), olfactory (Yosh Han, perfumer), and tactile (Naomi Rosenberg, designer). Over the course of the residency, these artists will build a shared vocabulary between their combined disciplines, weaving them together into an intermedia exchange. Investigating ideas of labyrinth, navigation, play and exploration.
