MY ARTWORK HIGHLIGHTS THE IMPORTANCE OF SUBTITLES IN MOVIE THEATERS, INSPIRED BY THE CHALLENGES FACED BY DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING INDIVIDUALS AND MANY OTHERS DURING THE MOVIE-GOING EXPERIENCE.

SUBTITLES MAKE MOVIES MORE ACCESSIBLE BY ENSURING EVERYONE CAN FULLY UNDERSTAND AND ENJOY THEM. THEY ALLOW VIEWERS WHO ARE DEAF, HARD OF HEARING, OR NON-NATIVE SPEAKERS TO FOLLOW ALONG WITH THE DIALOGUE, ACCENTS, OR UNFAMILIAR LANGUAGES WITHOUT FRUSTRATION. THIS INCLUSION FOSTERS EQUAL EXPERIENCES FOR ALL AUDIENCES.

BEYOND ACCESSIBILITY, SUBTITLES SUPPORT LITERACY AND LANGUAGE LEARNING BY DISPLAYING TEXT WITH AUDIO, CREATING A BLEND OF ENTERTAINMENT AND EDUCATION.

THE PIECE EMPHASIZES THAT ADDING SUBTITLES IS A SMALL CHANGE WITH A BIG IMPACT, CREATING A MORE INCLUSIVE SPACE WHERE EVERYONE FEELS WELCOME.
