Deaf Art Science Festival

Young people, families, members and allies of the Deaf community are warmly invited to a free Deaf Art Science Festival.

This event has been co-designed with members of the Deaf community including students and professionals, and will be an exciting day of exploration and learning at the University of Melbourne’s Science Gallery and Grainger Museum.

The program includes Deaf-led tours of Science Gallery Melbourne's current exhibition Distraction, a tour and experience of Grainger Museum with Speak Percussion, drop-in STEM workshops for D/deaf/HoH and Hearing young people aged 10 yrs +, an introduction to Auslan lessons, and a forum on Auslan in the Creative Arts and Sciences.

Auslan interpreters will be available and families with children are encouraged to attend. Attendees can create their own program by selecting from all available sessions to tailor the day to their interests.
