Our Mission
The Deaf Queer Festival is a bold, vibrant, and inclusive celebration of Deaf LGBTQIA+ identity, culture, and artistry. Our mission is to provide a platform where Deaf Queer individuals can express themselves, connect with the community, and amplify their voices through performance, storytelling, and creative expression.
We strive to:
🌈 Empower Deaf Queer artists, performers, and creatives by providing opportunities to showcase their talents.
🌈 Celebrate the rich intersection of Deaf and Queer cultures through diverse events and experiences.
🌈 Advocate for inclusivity, accessibility, and visibility within both Deaf and LGBTQIA+ spaces.
🌈 Educate and raise awareness about Deaf Queer history, identity, and rights.
Unite people of all backgrounds in a safe, welcoming, and fully accessible space.
Our Vision
We envision a world where Deaf Queer individuals are fully recognised, celebrated, and represented in mainstream arts, media, and cultural spaces.
Through the Deaf Queer Festival, we aim to:
🌈 Create lasting change by advocating for more inclusive and accessible arts spaces.
🌈 Inspire future generations of Deaf Queer leaders, artists, and activists.
🌈 Build a strong community where everyone feels safe, supported, and valued.
🌈 Foster collaboration between Deaf and hearing LGBTQIA+ communities to promote greater understanding and solidarity.
At the heart of our festival is a commitment to visibility, representation, and empowerment. We believe in the power of storytelling, sign language’s beauty, and the community’s strength.
Join us in celebrating Deaf Queer joy, resilience, and creativity!
