A group for Manitobans who are deaf is making a comeback.
The Manitoba Cultural Society of the Deaf (MCSD) held a town hall meeting Thursday night.
The society was dormant for many years, but the group is enjoying a resurgence.
Recently, it successfully lobbied for deaf students to be included in a private photography class. The society wants to help deaf artists build confidence and gain recognition, said Rick Zimmer with MCSD.
“You have so many people in mainstream society who've never seen deaf artists' work,” said Zimmer. “So we feel it's time to really display our artists."
Zimmer said the group will continue advocating for deaf artists. He wants to break down barriers and show the province what deaf artists can do.
