CymaSpace

CymaSpace is a nonprofit technology hub based in Portland, Oregon, dedicated to making arts, media, and culture accessible and inclusive to the Deaf community. They achieve this through the use of innovative technology, education, and outreach programs. CymaSpace hires and empowers Deaf performers, technicians, volunteers, and staff, and collaborates with art and cultural organizations to advocate for the needs of the Deaf community. They create a diverse and inclusive environment that addresses the intersectionality of Deafness with other cultures and disability groups.

At CymaSpace, they make sound visible by producing live performances, artistic installations, and broadcasted media using accessible technology and providers. They utilize Open Captioning, sound-activated light systems, American Sign Language Interpreters, and Deaf performers to ensure communication access for both Deaf and non-Deaf attendees and artists. CymaSpace also offers consultation and services to help other nonprofits provide communication access for physical and virtual venues, furthering their mission of equity and inclusion.
