動名詞

他們也許會用語言來表達，也許不會

they may or may not been able to communicate with me,

他們也許可以跟我溝通，也許無法

When you ask someone who's been disenfranchised

當你問某個終生被剝奪許多權利的人

Creative Growth Art Center is the oldest and largest

center for artists with disabilities in the world.

歷史最悠久，規模也最大的身心障礙藝術中心

When we were founded, the idea of disability, then,

當我們剛成立時，當時身心障礙這個概念

was so radically different than what it is now.

or we didn't come out of a vocational training program,

we came out of some artists getting together,

in a home in Oakland, putting paint on a table in the garage

召集了一些藝術家，在桌上放了顏料

and just saying, this is what artists do,

and this is how we can change the social fabric.

這就是我們改變社會結構的方式

we now serve 162 artists with disabilities

到現在我們每週有 162 位身心障礙藝術家

Within that, you'll find almost every possible expression

You'll see the rug making area, the wood shop,

這與大多數的藝術中心大不相同

Some people think, like, you must have doctors

and how do you deal with the studio everyday.

也對我們每天如何管理工作室有疑惑

It's like, no, you know, art is the common language.

And a lot of our folks don't verbalize or speak

我們有很多夥伴不以語言表達，有或甚至無法說話

but art is the language that moves us forward.

而藝術是引領我們往前進的語言

- This is called the Oil Red Sea Number One.

- [Tom] You look at work of an artist like Dan Miller,

His mother tried to encourage him to speak

他媽媽在他還是孩童時，曾試著用

by telling him how to spell words when he was a boy,

每晚教導他怎麼拼字來鼓勵他說話

- [Tom] Look at an artist like Monica Valentine,

she takes pins and she takes sequins and colored beads,

and she strings those together on the pin

to form these optically charged sculptures.

When you realize that Monica has prosthetic eyes

當你意識到 Monica 的眼睛是義眼

這項藝術品又進入了另一個層次

We want their own voice, we want it as pure

我們想要他們自己的心聲，我們希望它越純粹、

And 45 years later, it continues to work.

The record of success that Creative Growth has

We have three artists with work in the Museum of Modern Art

我們有三位藝術家的作品在紐約

in the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art collection.

和舊金山現代藝術博物館的館藏中

And, this year, we have the first two people

The Venice Bienalle is the most important, prestigious,

威尼斯雙聯展是世界上最重要、最有聲望，

by invitation-only exhibition in the world.

只有持有邀請函才能入場的展覽

Ya know, a piece is done, and there's a waiting list.

一件作品完成了，還有等候名單

Rosina, I haven't even said hello to you, yet, today.

Rosina，我今天還沒向你問好呢！

I get to work with phenomenally talented people,

and to see how they negotiate the day everyday,

how they get around obstacles, how they continue to say yes,

看著他們如何克服困難，如何在

每個人都否定他們的時候，依然堅定不移

That's a life lesson I get reminded of every single day.

是我每一天都會一再被提醒的人生課題
