Morpheyes Studio, which was founded by NTID five years ago, is proud to announce the first episode of our docuseries about Deaf culture. “Deaf And…” is now available to stream FOR FREE on the Morpheyes YouTube channel!
The episode titled “Deaf Identity” features many RIT/NTID alumni, and we are thrilled to share their insightful discussions and interviews with our community and beyond. You can find a short description of the series and first episode below.
“Deaf And…” is a dynamic celebration of American Deaf culture from the perspectives of 18 deaf
scholars and creative professionals. This docuseries aims to be a transformative work that brings recognition of Deaf culture into the mainstream as a cornerstone of the larger American community–neither to be cured nor eradicated, but respected and celebrated. The first episode, “Deaf Identity,” explores the vast diversity of experiences in our Deaf communities and the journeys we take to find confidence in who we are as Deaf individuals.
Please enjoy our first episode and share the link with your friends, family, colleagues, and anyone else you think will benefit from the discussions!
You can also check out videos about our first award-winning short film, “INSPIRED.”

All our best,
Morpheyes Studio
