For two decades, ASL SLAM has been a vital space for sign language performance arts and community interaction. Poet Douglas Ridloff invites renowned performers from around the world to take part in this milestone celebration, using imagery and literary prompts to honor the rich vernacular traditions of signed languages. Through his dynamic engagement with both artists and audiences, he transforms storytelling into a shared, collaborative experience.
A Social Hour with refreshments will be held from 6:30–7:30 pm. Christine Sun Kim: All Day All Night will be open for viewing at this time. The show will start at 7:30 pm.
This performance is open to D/deaf and hearing visitors. ASL interpretation will be provided.
