Irene Holub, Invisible Skin, 2019, theatre production |
During their residency at Gunyah, they'll dive into the concept of hidden disability. Exploring behind the bright colours and movements of sign language, they'll endeavour to share their invisible struggles, while also drawing inspiration from the natural world and their surroundings. Through a rich tapestry of artistic expressions, they aim to offer new perspectives, encapsulating the essence of Obscuria Deaf in their art.

Their residency will culminate in an exhibition spanning several states, promising to challenge perceptions and spark conversations. Obscuria Deaf aims to fuse creativity and advocacy to redefine the boundaries of art and disability.
