Jaycob Campbell AKA 'Gonketa' (Deaf Artist) | #83

"I think we are a long way to the hearing world fully embracing myself and other deaf artists" A picture paints a thousand words but Gonketa’s art pieces share his identity through his first language ‘Auslan' in hopes to excite and inspire his audience to learn to sign. In this episode Jaycob Campbell a.k.a Gonketa (an onomatopoeia of a ball in a spray can) tells his story of identity and inclusion when it comes to the hearing art world and why he is so passionate about the next generation of Deaf artists. Jaycob talks about his initial resistance going into the art world and confrontation of attending a University that made accessibility difficult. Jaycob talks about his personal experience with his Deaf Identity and his connection/exposure to Deaf Culture from a young age.
