Seeing Our Voices, Signs of Germantown

Seeing Our Voices, Signs of Germantown by artists Michelle Angela Ortiz is located in the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This mural is about the importance of Deaf culture and its role in the history of Germantown. Each person depicted is signing a message with a translation for those who cannot understand American Sign Langue painted below them. The mural creates an understanding between hearing and deaf communities so as not to see deafness as a disability.
