Another pic on the wall. Video length: 44 minutes

An Auslan interpreted program with Director Collections & Exhibitions, Sandra Bruce, for National Week of Deaf People and on the International Day of Sign Languages. A portrait can tell a thousand stories, but so, too, can the way they are hung. Explore the creative juxtapositions, visual connections and entwined stories that feature on a single wall in the Gallery! (This portrait of Martin may or may not make an appearance; we just liked the wall. And the cat 😊)
