Dr. Paula Bath is a sensory anthropologist in the field of communication. She explores moments when ideas, structures, processes, and cultures are lived, negotiated, and experienced by Deaf and hearing people. In 2023, Paula embarked on a research-creation project to explore the sensory experience of communication between deaf and hearing people. Paula, along with a group of eleven (11) deaf and hearing participants re-told their experiences. Some of them were joyful and others, painful. Some shared an exact moment burned into their memory. Others shared a build-up of moments over a lifetime navigating communication barriers and oppression.
A reverberation is like a repercussion. It’s the continuing effect of an event, sound, or experience. Re{verbe} is a moving documentary film that explores the complex world of communication and understanding across sensory difference.
