SUMMARY:Little Lunch #33
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:We are in for a treat on Thursday for Little Lunch #33 with de
 af creative practitioner and leading advocate for deaf inclusion Dr. Ri
 ona Tindal hosting a conversation with fellow deaf arts advocate Irene 
 Holub on their lived experience\, Auslan and access in the creative indus
 tries. What can we learn from our experiences during COVID-19 and how ca
 n we reimagine the arts of the future to be more diverse\, accessible a
 nd inclusive?\nIrene Holub\, born deaf into a hearing family\, became a s
 ocial product of segregation and mainstreaming. As a sculptor\, printmaker
  and painter and as an outsider searching for identity\, she would use dif
 ferent mediums to disseminate and capture the symbolic language within her
  hands.  Patterns\, connections\, fragments and memories appear in Irene
 ’s works as many layers of perceptions from within and from others. Her 
 works have been shown at St Heiliers Gallery\, FLOW festival\, Women’s G
 allery\, Firestation Gallery\, Melbourne Fringe Festivals and local contem
 porary events.  Recently directed and produced the sell out “Invisible 
 Skin” show for the Melbourne Fringe 2019 at Loop Project Space Bar.\n\nD
 eafness for Irene is a gift. She is passionate about education and empower
 ment. Throughout her art career and as a teacher\, educator and advisor\, 
 she advocated for the right of young deaf people to have a voice. She has 
 worked as a curator\, workshop presenter and board director of Arts Access
  Victoria. Irene delivered art programs for youth and adults. Currently wo
 rking as a creative director for the FLOW festival 2021 - Deaf Arts. FLOW 
 festival will deliver a vibrant and unique festival of Deaf Arts by the Au
 stralian Deaf Community at the Northcote Town Hall Arts Centre.  It will 
 showcase Auslan\, Australian Sign Language through many different artistic
  forms.  www.flowfestivalaustralia.com....\nIrene's art is a social move
 ment\, a documentation of those influenced by the mainstream who have (un)
 intentionally removed the rights of people to be different\, Deaf and prou
