Face Me: The Art of Deafhood is an exhibition at Lismore Regional Gallery that intentional bringing together of works by d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing artists, both local and national. Showcasing the work and stories of Deaf people of Australia, in a visual and tactile way, the exhibition reflects the very nature of the rich language and culture of the Deaf community. By bringing together work from a range of Deaf artists, we create an opportunity for connection and in a world that is increasingly fragmented, yet intrinsically and powerfully interconnected by shared experience, culture and identity.
