Signed speech is a method of communication based on simple gestures that are used in a focused way to support spoken language. The method is taught through simple pictures showing signs and hand movements. The Key Signs program uses interactive techniques in order to make it easier for people to learn Signed Speech. The tuition is made accessible and even exciting through play. The programmes Key Signs asks the viewer to act out a symbol using hand gesture. If the symbol is done correctly, the viewer sees imagery linked to the word the sign stands for.
KEY SIGNS is my BA graduation project from the visual communication department of the Icelandic University of the Arts, which was showcased in Kjarvalsstaðir, May 4. – 12. 2019.
