Boss Cat is unlike any movie I have seen before. It means a lot to me because it celebrates freedom, inclusion, and the voices of people with disabilities. The disability representation in the film makes the story feel authentic and real. It is creative, inspiring, and helps create a more open conversation within the disability community.
The film reminds us never to stay silent and to let our voices be heard.
Congratulations to Genevieve Clay-Smith on creating such a meaningful and powerful film. 🎬🌟 DisabilityRepresentation DisabilityInclusion DisabilityAwareness NothingAboutUsWithoutUs InclusionMatters RepresentationMatters CommunityVoices FilmLovers SupportAustralianFilm CreativeStorytelling Accessibility CelebrateDifferences MovieNight InspiringStories

Doesn't Matter What you like
Doesn't Matter Who You Are
Doesn't Matter Where You From
Doesn't Matter If You Are Allowed
But So What
You ARE Allowed. .artist_

History of families sausages rolls. Life is still like this! That is way is it. Story of My Magic makes you invisible!
Seeing water glitter from the moonlight
Reflections of the moon!
Possums laugh and dance
in the dark
Seeing people eating their Lamingtons
while they watch TV
You make your own magic in the night
Until sunrise in the morning
Nobody sees us in the tree
Magic Possum!" LOL .art.galleries

This is the final video of Deadly Hand Talk for this 2024. I am deaf Indigenous artist and did my own filming, editing, sounds, acting and subtitles. It was good skills to learn how to use the program for making videos. I use sign language in the final video.
The artwork is called “One Breath”. The story shows “The winds answer me
The blue sea shines. The sunset turns down the pace. Looking up to the red clouds. Stars arrive into glitter and shine from the four corners
Millions of stars of different diversity and colour. The stars are real and warm and welcome. Doesn’t matter where you from
Doesn’t matter who you are.
The pathways connect us here, now….in one breath.” LGBTQ Facebook

I finished work with my art through Christmas and New Year Holidays. Arrived home from Welcome to Country. I have a story of my art "Better to Better" It is about Better. "Don't let me know. What do I get the pain away. Someone will say the pain will go away. But I can not be fake it. What have you got? Build myself better, climbe from the black hole. The rope falls down. My pain still going away. Climb out of the black hole. Stand on :and to see beautiful rainbow from the sky. Breath to feel better in the air I believe to feel better from the pain away. Better to Better" My outfit made from for the outfit and for the necklace. Advocating For People With Disabilities Acting OUT
