The film will be followed by the workshop “#deaf in Timișoara/Romania/Europe”, on communication in Romanian sign language and the present public is invited to participate to it.

Ms. Angela Mate, teacher/interpreter for Romanian sign language and her guests will conduct the workshop, which will include a brief presentation of the deaf community, an introduction to the world without sounds, some curiosities about the “island of silence” and proposes 23 signs to mark Timisoara, European Capital of Culture 2023.
