RIGHT TO BE HEARD
Right to be heard focuses on deaf individuals, and how they have coped with mask-wearing and lockdown, just everyday life in general. With the pandemic, people have overlooked individuals with deafness when it comes to face masks and mental health. They rely on lip-reading to be able to understand others. It is a topic very close to my heart personally, and it should create conversations more often. Showcased through a series of portraits and their stories. Have a flick through the different sections to find out more about their experiences through lockdown as a deaf individual, and some quotes that may inspire people!

to do’.
