Silent Studio 2.0

Set within a photography studio environment, this participatory experience invites attendees to explore the nuances of non-speaking interaction through witnessing the intimate process of portrait photography.

Led by Deaf photographer Isabelle Lim (Issy), selected participants have the opportunity to be subjects photographed in an immersive and silent experience. Each portrait becomes a record of mutual connection. Highlighting the richness of Deaf culture, the experience creates space for introspection and sensory engagement, inviting attendees to immerse themselves in silence, be seen by others, and listen with our eyes.
