Christine Sun Kim: All Day All Night

In the series Degrees of Deaf Rage, Kim used diagrams of mathematical angles, including acute, right, and 360 degrees, as tools to measure the amount of feeling that accumulates from frustration to profound rage. While some of the examples, such as the anger provoked by “long videos with zero captions,” and “important transit announcements in spoken English only,” resonate deeply with many members of the Deaf community, Degrees of My Deaf Rage in the Art World charts a range of experiences—and corresponding quantities of fury—that are specific to her life as a working artist. Kim’s accounts of navigating systems that can be inaccessible and even hostile to Deaf and disabled people are both a personal coping mechanism and a prompt for institutional reflection and change.
