Join us for an Auslan accessible Artist Talk with Sue Jo Wright, find out about her exhibition Dinner Table Syndrome. Sue Jo Wright is a Sydney-based artist working primarily with photography, video, and textiles which explore her identity as a deaf person. Sue grew up being torn between the ‘hearing world’ and the ‘deaf world,’ speaking orally early in life and not using sign language until the age of 10. She feels that sign language saved and enriched her life and is inspired to create artwork that breaks barriers between our two ‘worlds’ - offering the wider community a glimpse into the identity of the deaf community.This Artist talk is suitable for both hearing and deaf audiences. Su Jo Wright’s exhibition Dinner Table Syndrome is on display at Object Space at Australian Design Centre, 4 August - 28 September.Object Space is a window gallery located at the Australian Design Centre on William Street, Darlinghurst, on view 24 hours a day.
