Dorsal Traces

Is Deaf Dorsality an answer to toxic masculinity? Is it a way to navigate disagreement and overcome purity politics? Can it be a form of mutual support and a stepping stone toward true solidarity?

Dorsal Traces is the first collaboration between A Fichu Turning (Québec) and The Invisible Practice (Alberta). Through the bodies and hands of Cai Glover and Connor Yuzwenko-Martin, Deaf Dorsality is portrayed as a rare and necessary deconstruction of Deaf, Queer, and masculine identities. Join them and consider: do we really have each other’s backs?
