Our Visual World introduces DeafNot Takeover.
An exciting day of discussion and creative activities that get to the heart of identity, barriers and how our Deaf artists experience the world.
Starting at 10am, each artist will discuss their work, followed by a Q&A so you have the chance to share your thoughts.
After lunch you can take part in two creative workshops based around the themes of the exhibition.
The day is BSL-led with interpreters providing English translation and captioners providing a visual transcript.
Bring yourself and your curiosity and you’ll have a warm welcome from us.
Everyone Welcome
Our Visual World is a vibrant and inclusive community dedicated to supporting Deaf Visual Artists across Wales. Emerging from the Connect and Flourish initiative – an Arts Council of Wales-supported project led by Jane Simpson and GS Artists – this network was born out of a desire to amplify Deaf voices in the visual arts. It fosters collaboration, visibility, and creative growth, providing a platform where Deaf artists can connect, share their work, and access opportunities tailored to their unique experiences and perspectives. Through advocacy, workshops, and exhibitions, Our Visual World is now led by Deaf artists and continues to build a more accessible and representative arts landscape in Wales.
Co-curated with Cardiff-based Caitlin Davies, whose curatorial practice focuses on access and collaboration, the exhibition features a diverse range of media – including installation, sculpture, painting, print, and photography – providing audiences with a rare and vital insight into Deaf culture and lived experience.
In partnership with GS Artists and Our Visual World.
Funded by Arts Council of Wales
