Artist

Catherine Dunn

Catherine Dunn is an emerging artist whose practice includes poetry in both Auslan and English as well as theatre performance.

As a bilingual person, her art practice is inspired by the expression of human experience through language which can be both empowering and disenfranchising.

Performance highlights include presenting a panel discussion at Clin d’Oeil in Reims, France for an international Deaf arts festival, a Warehouse Residency at Arts House in 2022 presenting “More Than Words Can Say” and performing “Home Sweet Home” at Melbourne Fringe Festival 2021.
