| From the collaboration between the Education Department Castello di Rivoli Museum of Contemporary Art and the Turin Institute of the Deaf – together for a unique project – comes out the first Dictionary of Contemporary Art in Italian Sign Language: a lexicon that presents 80 new specific signs, related to the art of our time and designed by the research group. The research team, with representatives of the two institutions, deaf and hearing people together, has undertaken the important task of identifying a specific vocabulary still missing in Italian Sign Language: the enrichment of the LIS with the translation of the specific words is essential in order to make contemporary art comprehensible to deaf people. The project brings together two worlds that are closely related to the visual dimension - art and Sign Language - yet so far, unable to communicate: an experience of total accessibility of culture, that can become an example for other museums and institutions. Thus, the publication is written in Italian and English, considering the innovation represented by the project. The Dictionary draws near each new sign a summary of the term together with the picture of a work of art. The publication is therefore intended to be useful not only for deaf people, but also for students, cultural employees, educators, and for anyone wishing to approach the basic terminology related to contemporary art. We thank Catterina Seia, cultural advisor, who created the partnership between the two institutions and has participated in the project team. The book is published by Umberto Allemandi Editore, Turin, under the patronage of AMACI Association of Italian Contemporary Art Museums. It will be available in Italian bookstores by mid-June and sold online, by www.allemandi.com. Education Department Castello di Rivoli Museum of Contemporary Art The Education Department supports the cultural and institutional activity of the Castello di Rivoli Museum of Contemporary Art, thanks to its programs enhances its own educational function, favouring the relationship with the public and the acquaintance of the art of the present, within and outside the Museum. Trusting in the power that art has to ignite imagination, to stimulate thought, to obtain pleasure, through the collaborations with different institutional subjects, the Education Department aims to integrate art with the life of people. In such sense it is active towards the artistic heritage accessibility for disabled people, and it has started in 2006 a research project to approach to contemporary art blind and visually impaired people. Turin Institute of the Deaf The Turin Deaf people Institute, active in Italy and Albania, is a board established from the Savoy in the first years of the 19th century that, coherently with its statutory dictates, works in favour of deaf people, their social, scholastic and working integration in all the centres of the civil life. In Italy the deaf people from the birth have a medium incidence as a newborn over one thousand, while it is possible to estimate that there are two million persons with auditory deficits. | ||||||||||
