HIDEHIKO KADO
The theme of that event will be: “Pursuit of the possibilities of a Non-verbal World”.
Hidehiko Kado’s parents were both deaf. At an early age, in order to express his feelings that could not be conveyed to them in spoken language, he began to express himself by drawing. Later, he went on to study painting and design on his own. Although he learned sign language, he felt there still existed a barrier between hearing people and the deaf. He found it natural to draw sign language representations in his drawings. With the aims of helping to create a world without barriers and to expand the possibilities of communication as much as possible, he expresses his intentions through art using trendy imagery and pop culture effects. Thus, he hopes to reach as many people as possible with his message.
