What I Wish I’d Told You is an exhibition that has recently opened at Footscray Community Arts in Melbourne’s diverse west side. But more than that, it’s a national project using decolonising strategies and truth-telling to empower and affirm experiences of Deafhood.
Led by Deaf artist Chelle Destefano and Deaf advocate and artist Claire Bridge, the project engaged more than 70 Deaf storytellers and hearing allies to pave a new path of accessibility which centres autonomous storytelling over interpreting.
