We’re excited to reveal our Deaffest 2019 promo!
Directed by Samuel Dore and produced by Deaffest’s Media Officer Jack Smallwood.
Deaffest are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Jerry Hanifin.
Jerry Hanifin was well known to the Deaf Community for his beautiful sign language descriptions and inspirational storytelling. He was a great role model for generations of deaf people.
He will be deeply missed. He attended Deaffest 2015 where he presented an award with his long time friend and work partner Wendy Daunt and of course we will never forget his passionate storytelling on the stage at the Late Night Deaf Party. His legacy will be remembered especially with this year’s Deaffest ‘Storytelling’ theme
We shall never forget the legendary Jerry Hanifin.
Rest in Peace Jerry.
Wawa’s rendering of Dip Hop explores Hip Hop in a way where the focus is taking on challenges and educating people about deaf musicians in the hearing world. A pursuit where he hopes to put deaf Recording Artists on the map in the mainstream public interest. Artists for who disadvantage ultimately becomes their biggest asset, something that is original but also admirable, genuine and brings their music to a whole new audience. Something that has strongly showcased WAWA’s interest is aspiring to inspire, even to those who are more challenged to do so.
2019 is a year of new music in the works, and more steps towards the ultimate goal of turning a disadvantage into a core strength for someone musically, expect nothing short of amazing coming from WAWA!
Warren “WAWA” Snipe of Wawa’s World will give a presentation Deaf Musicians: Rise and Struggles and will be performing at Friday Evening and Saturday Late Night Deaf Party with DJ Nicar.
