First Week RESISTANCE – The Oppression of ASL in Deaf History (February 1-‐7) Day 1 of 28 days
CLOCK (R) Meaning: Clocks have many different characters. Clocks can be symbolized as urgency or a sense that time is running out. They also can symbolize being stuck in time or wasting time/a lack of progress. If a clock has no hands, it can communicate a sense of timelessness or infinity. If a clock face is backward, it can mean confusion/distortion or can set the scene for a flashback. Clocks can be metaphors for life or death/beginnings or endings. Explanation: motif explained by Minja Jung https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eg0hSQUrFAI “I will Never Forget” by Ellen Mansfield, Gone with the Wind by Tony M. Fowler. Remember to use hashtag #ASL28Challenge when posting your daily motifs.
Feb 1 -‐ Clock Motif " Suffering Clock" -‐ when will It ever end? Artist-‐ Kathy Abraham Materials-‐ ink, watercolor painting, pencil, sketch pad 8x10 -‐ as we know the story of Milan and AGB, Sign language was banned so Oralism was strongly focused for 100 years. Students had to tolerate and suffer long long long hours of practicing speech lessons to spend in class . It felt forever for them to finally finish class -‐ they didn't have enough literacy and other core subject skills to focus on. It was because learning letters in articulation was more important to hearing people. Gestures or any method of sign language seemed low and distasteful to them. No wonder deaf students ' eyes were worn out from watching lip movements too much!
Gabriel Arellano First day of February 2017 -‐ Motif: Clock "TIME in sign language of Native American" ~ How would we look like today, if we continue to use morpheme in sign language: TIME by Native American, instead of any sign language of CLOCK? Artist-‐ Gabriel Arellano Materials-‐ Digital sketching via Sketches Pro App from a little smartphone. ~ TIME: Forgotten sign by Native American; which may colonized by the device of CLOCK. Resisting by learn how to decolonize and continue to study and play STEMS within all living creatures that our planet provides by practice and breathe on what Native American sign for TIME. #28aslchallenge
Arnaud Balard ENG / FR: "Bell Time" (2017) #ASL28Challenge Motif: Clock (Horloge) The infernal clock! It's impossible to escape because the dial is fully cover by needles to action both bells permanently. Only the eleventh hour appears safe, but optional by the lack of a needle. (PS: the bell is a wink to the famous Alexander Graham Bell, a fervent supporter of oralism and notorious eugenics.) Le réveil-‐matin infernal ! Il est impossible d'y échapper car le cadran de l'horloge est couvert d'aiguilles pour actionner les cloches en permanence. Seule la onzième heure est l'apaisement, mais elle est facultative car pas d'aiguille... (PS: Bell (cloche, traduit en anglais) est un clin d'oeil au célèbre Alexander Graham Bell, partisan fervent de l'oralisme et eugéniste notoire.)
David Call Feb 1st Clock motif "Auditory/Oral Education Stagnation", Strathmore paper 10"x12", Prismacolor pencil, David Call Auditory/oral education is primitive as obsolete inaccurate sundial. This young Victorian era child is lost in desert desolation of wasted education. When he goes into auditory/oral training, his brain get disconnected and goes into monotony of captivity. His school desk left abandoned and his tree of learning just died. He is abandoned by the institution to struggle to survive in hostile environment.

Juliette Dalle from France 1 Feb-‐ motif Clock Motif "Child resistance" -‐ More pain More perseverance Artist Juliette Dalle "July" Material : black pen on Kraft paper -‐ Despite the prohibition to sign, the efforts of pro-‐oral teachers to prohibit sign language at school, the hours spent talking, we always find a small moment in a small corner where we sign freely. This could be in an improvised tent in a children's room at midnight when the parents sleep.
Turning Back the Clock -‐ Tick Tock P Durr Pencil sketch GRAND furher clock w horns and skull plate rotating up with Bannon s face. Roman numbers backward little trump swinging on bell chime. DeVos turning the clock while holding riped IDEA law and standing on the back of Deaf disabled children
Rosemary Parker Edwards Motif: Clock Digital art I have read lips for many years and there are moments where I get lost when different people are talking. Or talking too fast. Lip reading is not always the best method of communication for the deaf.

Bonnie L. Harris "Fast Time to Progress" (R) #ASL28Challenge Motif: Clock Digital art on 53 Paper. The Grandfather clock is like AGB, year by year, it still stands. I think grandfather clock may be perfect choice of my vision because it could run for long time. Deaf knew how technological progress on hearing aids, Cochlear's implant and speech therapists have speeded up. Deaf community tries to keep time slow down. Though, time becomes so impossible because they are progressing too quick and ahead in the future. It also shows our concerns by how soon our culture may vanish. We fight, watch, and know how their💰 rises to help Deaf hear/speak.
Tiffany Hoglind Topic: ASL in Deaf History Motif: Clock Category: Resistance Art Title: "Awfully Forever in '85" Description: Growing up in mainstreaming school with interpreters, I felt like I was in Salvador Dali's Persistence of Memory artwork where the schooling in middle school years took forever (handshape Y) as my focused eyes got tired with blood tears. Graduating in the 8th grade back in '85, the clock on my left face melted as the numbers '85' in ASL slang for 'awful' which was in desperation to leave for a larger deaf school setting of 200 deaf students. It was not a dream in the confusing land of checkers as I went though learning with more opportunities as a whole Deaf person. My Deafhood value experience didn't appear with pride until many years later in the distance background being discovered as an adult. -‐ Tiffany '17 Medium: Digital art using YouDoodle and Colorfy apps
Paul Kiel Day 1 of 28 days 02/01/17 Motif: Clock R "Clock ticktocking through pages of Deaf history" Topic in Deaf History 200 Years Keynote/Video -‐ pause button to read each quote. Speed not helping so I apologize.
Laurie Rose Monahan Day 1 -‐ resistance Clock motif "hurry it up!" Photo, Dreamscope app then photoshop Description: when I was young being oral oppression survivor, I used stared at the clock at schools and church where there were no communication access for me. Of course, it created the boredom, confusion and frustration out of me. Also the light screen clock represents my most childhood memories were "hazy"

Day 1 of 28 Days The Grandfather Clock CLOCK motif (R) Topic: ASL in Deaf History 16 inch by 20 inch Oil on canvas Nancy Rourke #ASL28Challenge Description: There are nine motifs in the painting. I have used the mother and child motif on other paintings that related to newborn hearing screening, the elephant in the Deaf room, etc. The impaled hand referred to ASL banned. The roman numeral 12 numbers 12 is another motif that is, to honour the first 12 Deaf who died from complicated CI surgeries. The elephant is behind the clock. The story about the painting is the history of how ASL was banned and the oralism invaded and the Deaf culture was attacked. It started from Milan 1880 through the time of Alexander Graham Bell. The Ear motif refers to AGBELL along with the swirls as cochlear. The moon dial with the bell motif shows that it is almost midnight, is when the cultural genocide happened. The image of the tree is the eugenics tree and it moves. This clock seems to be haunted to many who have experienced that in the past. (the word “haunted” refers to deaf experience, not to ghost).
Day 1 of 28 Days The Grandfather Clock CLOCK motif (R) Topic: ASL in Deaf History "Tick Tock" Raw video footage Ian Sanborn #ASL28Challenge Description: Brainwashed vocally with the tick tock until Deaf Heart paused time to create tick tock with its love and serenity. The invisible clock is the clock that hangs on the heart's wall. https://www.facebook.com/isanborn/posts/10102096674823885
Tina-‐Margaret Steele The red bricks: I was born in VA and there were almost rich red brick houses everywhere in va. Lol. there is AGB in the clock glass that reflected. The 24 hour clock: I was raised by Air Force families with highly expectations from me. And puncture time.
Heidi Storme Image description: browns and less obvious colors spiraling out from a center rose, a Roman numeral 1 and seated inside the palm of an open 5 handshape. The numbers run out through 12. Loving both languages i play with English, 'out of our hands' as in we have no actual control, only perceived, and, 'time on our hands' implying downtime, not rushed.. then the, 'hands of time' double speak, referring to literal and figurative time indicators. As a Deaf person this is time and focus outside my locus of control, so much happening beyond my insular 'beauty' -‐the rose, my hand-‐ the shape and the messy organic movement is all outside the handshape. Inks, alcohol, sharpie and some oil pen
Yusuf Yahya Topic: "Against The Clock" Category: R (Resistance) Motif: Clock Medium: Collage Art & Paint Marker Cardstock Carton 12 x 12 The Deaf guy's head is spinning, confusing and oppression by speech therapist. Maybe he is losing a race against the clock for his future. They forced him but he don't like it when he talk without sign language. Because he is not allowed to use signing hands. Time and time when he had to overcome an obstacle. It's time to stop audism!
