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.’

Heart felt invitation to support Deaf Arts
Heart felt invitation to support the Deaf creative community. Ramas McRae Director of Flow Festival Here is transcript from Ramas’ video: Here are some of the Deaf artworks I have purchased from around the place and hung on the walls in my hallway. I love to walk down my hallway and admire their pieces on display. A beautiful vision of Deaf art on my walls. Think this looks easy? No way! It’s a combination of mind, heart and soul, expressed on paper, created specially to display and share with people who will watch and appreciate their work. Their fellow community seeing their work, a piece of themselves for all to see. Incredible! The Flow Festival is one of those moments, where Deaf and hard of hearing people can share a piece of themselves, show their art and share with an open audience to watch and appreciate. Think it’s a walk in the park creating a space for artists to showcase their work? No, its really difficult. Its also a challenging time for artists at the moment to delve inside, express themselves and share with others. We are all so grateful, to embrace and enjoy your work. But how can this happen? Through donating. The Flow Festival website has a donation tab, click it, donate and this money will go towards our Deaf and hard of hearing artists for all their tireless work to display their beautiful art to everyone watching. That’s where your donations will go! With your support, we can support our Deaf and hard of hearing artists! Together we are one! https://cpaus.force.com/artists/s/project/a2E6F000003ZcpI/leading-the-future-of-deaf-arts?fbclid=IwAR2hsITh47_fhniJel5CJAgFxB9dLHaJT_FIRny1BqCGT4FXJGgb6aSnXCg

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
