Deafism
"Each word, each sign, drawing, poem are so many steps to meet each other. Surdism is a bridge." _8df6fbcc- 43d3-3d99-a511-2eb009ed8a2d_ _8df6fbcc-43d3-3d99-a511- 2eb009ed8a2d_Arnaud Balard
Surdism is an artistic, philosophical and cultural movement, imagined and initiated by Arnaud Balard in 2009. It offers a new force for affirmation of Deaf culture.
Its manifesto defines the philosophy desired by this innovative project of cultural expression. It was thus written and published by Arnaud Balard in 2009.

Metaphorically, this bird is constructed from powerful and positive specific visual elements of the deaf identity: the eyes and the hands. He thus becomes the bearer of a freedom to be, to live, to think and to communicate positively through signs.
And like any bird, it has the sweet symbolism of the messenger, of the dream, of peace and the ability to rise and pass with elegance and fluidity from one world to another.
The bird is one of the most beautiful symbols that conveys the ideals of Surdism.
