The project is to introduce the audience to the history of a little-mentioned part of the history of the Deaf community in Poland, namely the contribution to the history of Polish culture by selected famous deaf artists and social activists. The project also aims to introduce the profiles of deaf comic book creators by showing selected works at an exhibition, including educational zines made especially for this project by Agnieszka Kołodziejczak. The event will be accompanied by a catalogue of works with an introduction by dr hab. Aneta Pawłowska, Associate Professor at the University of Lodz and text by Agnieszka Kołodziejczak.
