Australia’s first and only Deaf Arts festival returns | ArtsHub Australia

LEADING THE FUTURE FOR DEAF ARTS
With over 80 presenters, artists and performers, the impact of the festival for the arts and future of Deaf artists will be profound, said Holub.

‘There is a shift in Deaf Arts as a social movement, documentation of those influenced by the mainstream who have (un)intentionally removed the rights of people to be different, deaf and proud,’ she explained.

’With the growing recognition of sign language and culture, Deaf Arts are developing an identity of its own.’

Irene Holub continued to say that the festival will help build connections and a shared understanding between the Deaf and Hearing community.

‘Engaging with and supporting Deaf led events within a collaborative framework allows both Deaf and Hearing to learn from each other and apply best practices of accessibility for both parties.’

Flow Festival Australia was a recipient of our Expression Deaf Grants. The grant was used to help the festival become more accessible for Deaf people.

If you have an idea or a project that will make a positive impact on the lives of people who are Deaf and hard of hearing, apply for an Expression Deaf Grant now!

You can learn more about our grants here: https://www.expression.com.au/about/deaf-community/expression-deaf-grants
Did you know Deaf culture art is more than just a painting or a drawing. It brings the Deaf community and language together.

This resource was developed as a part of Deaf Victoria's Auslan in the City Project, funded by City of Melbourne’s Social Innovation Partnerships Programme.

Huge thank you to Flow Festival Australia for inviting us to perform and for welcoming us into the wider community. So many incredible and powerful deaf/hh/CODA artists and educators outside of WA that we would not have met otherwise. It’s so important to have a space that’s made for and by us.
Giant thank you to our deaf teachers and to for mentoring us. We had late access to the deaf community and its amazing to start connecting more with our people, to collaborate and develop our art form.
Big love to all who made the festival happen behind the scenes and to all who invited us to witness their artistic process, performances, stories and activism. Cannot express our gratitude enough
