Christine Sun Kim to sign National Anthem at Super Bowl LIV
The National Association of the Deaf (NAD) announced today that deaf performer and artist Christine Sun Kim will perform the National Anthem and America the Beautiful during the pregame portion of Super Bowl LIV (54) in Miami Gardens.
The Daily Moth did a feature on Christine in the summer after she showcased a large wall art piece in London with the words, “IF SIGN LANGUAGE WAS CONSIDERED EQUAL, WE’D ALREADY BE FRIENDS.” Her work has been featured in major art exhibits around the world. Many of her topics are on sound art and on Deaf culture.
Christine was born in California and currently lives in Berlin. She graduated from RIT. Congratulations to her for the honor.
The performance will be on February 2. Kickoff is at 6:30 pm EST, so the pregame portion will probably start at about 6 pm. FOX will televise it. It is always an unknown how much of the sign language performance will be seen and whether there will be a dedicated PIP box or not.
The voice singer will be Demi Lovato.
