Abstract
This article will discuss how Kristi Merriweather's poems enact care while speaking to intersectional communities: BlackDeaf Women, BlackDeaf communities, Deaf and hearing people of color, as well as white signing Deaf communities who are inspired by her work. We analyze the artwork created by Deaf artists who create art in the style of the Deaf View/Image Art (De’VIA) movement. This analysis demonstrates how Deaf literature like Merriweather's inspires art committed to social justice for deaf people.
