The collaboration between the Guyana Deaf Association and the Ministry of Education resulted in the opening of an art exhibit at Castellani House, marked by the theme “Deaf Artistry Unveiled: Fostering Talents, Shaping Perspectives.” This event was a significant initiative aimed at providing a platform for deaf students to engage with and learn from deaf artist Jaideo Nankishoor, who not only shared his artistic expertise but also shared personal experiences.

The art workshop, a central component of this initiative, created a unique environment for deaf students to come together, interact, and learn from one another. During the workshop, students had the opportunity to present their own artworks, showcasing their dynamic and distinct perspectives. This interaction not only fostered artistic skills but also promoted a sense of community and understanding among the participants.
