Students in the Mass Communications Department of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at the United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) recently organized an art exhibition under the title, “on this Earth we have the things that makes life worth living”. They also launched a campaign to introduce the concept of sign language for deaf people. This campaign goes under the name of ‘Silent Conversations.’ The exhibition included a variety of paintings showing the reality of the Palestinian situation. The campaign demonstrated the importance of sign language as a means of non-verbal communication that allows the individual to express their thoughts and communicate with others.

These two events are part of a larger framework of graduation projects by students in the Mass Communications Department. Palestinian students presented their case against the occupation of Palestine, while several female students presented a variety of displays concerning sign language and how that can increase the integration of deaf people into wider society. These events were attended by faculty members, administration staff and students.

Dr. Aisha A. Al Noaimi, Associate Professor in the Department of Mass Communications, lauded the participants and the audience, especially those from the UAE Deaf Association. She added that the graduation projects were characterized by a degree of creativity that reflected the students’ abilities. These projects also prepare graduates to be future leaders and pioneers in their respective fields.

The exhibition shed light on the Palestinian situation by telling the story of the Palestinian struggle for their homeland. The exhibition touched on Palestinian literature and heritage, traditions and cultural habits. This was presented by Bilal Abu Kabsh, Hussein Hasan, Munther Maqadmeh and Khaled Bassiouni.

The ‘Silent Conversation’ campaign dealt with the psychological pressures that affect deaf people when communicating with others. The theme was succinctly summed up by the phrase, “Try to Understand Me.” This was presented by Hussa Humairi, Esraa Nazmi, Amena Mohammed, Alia Ali and Salima Saeed.
