💨 Abstract

Chris Fonseca, a deaf Black performer, found his cultural identity late in life after focusing on his deafness. He co-wrote the stage show "Follow the Signs" with Harry Jardine, exploring experiences of hearing loss and being a person of colour. The show, performed in BSL, rap, and spoken English, has resonated deeply with audiences, who felt seen for the first time. It has been nominated for the Scope's Media Moment award and is celebrated for its impact.
