RIGHT TO BE HEARD

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!

INTRODUCTION
‘Right to be Heard’ was created over six months at the beginning of 2021. This book
showcases the portraits of deaf people and highlights how they have struggled with
face masks, lockdown and mental health.
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, deaf people have become overlooked when it
comes to face masks. They rely on lip-reading to understand others. This project hopes
to educate people and raise awareness.
