d/Deaf and disabled artist and arts workers (and audiences) are vital contributors to the cultural life and creative expression of the nation. Creative Australia’s arts and disability initiatives value and champion unique practices, perspectives and leadership – challenging and reinventing artforms, opening up creative and professional pathways, and connecting with audiences – challenging how we see ourselves and each other.
