Deaf Queer Art Exhibition

Deaf Rainbow NSW is proud to be organising our first exhibition, "Deaf Queer Art Exhibition". We welcome everyone to join us as we celebrate the launch of this incredible exhibition at 107 in Green Square. Be amongst the first to view this exhibition along with having the opportunity to question and discuss with the curators and artists. To celebrate our launch, we will have short presentations, all with an Auslan interpreter. 

Buying tickets to our launch support Deaf Rainbow NSW to cover the funds to organise this exhibition. Deaf Rainbow NSW thanks 107 Green Square for their generous support in making this exhibition happen.

More about the exhibition

This exhibition is a collaboration with d/Deaf/Hard of Hearing LGBTIQA+/Queer artists from all over Australia. Our exhibition celebrates the intersectionality and diversity of our community by inviting artists to contribute any work (previously created or made for this exhibition) of their choosing. The underlying thread that connects these works together are the artists behind them. Regardless of our individual experiences, there is a shared connection through the identity of being d/Deaf/Hard of Hearing/LGBTQIA+/Queer.

Amongst these fabulous artworks, there are glimpses of historical artifacts from the Deaf LGBTIQA+ community in NSW and varied states. These artifacts, primarily from the Deaf Gay and Lesbian Association NSW (DGLA NSW), are windows of unique insight into the rich and longstanding history of our community. It is a reminder of the perseverance of our organisation and community within the broader mainstream LGBTQIA+ community.
