Reflections Through a DeafLens

These are some of the books, journals, articles, DVDs, and films on my bookshelves. Check out the titles, you might find some of them interesting. Almost all discuss art (Deaf) in one way or another. Do you have other titles, you think we might enjoy? If so, it’d be great if you post them.
