Deaffest

It was amazing to see so many familiar faces alongside so many new ones, all coming together to celebrate talent, creativity, Deaf culture and community. From inspiring workshops and opportunities to learn, to mesmerising performances, powerful storytelling, award winners and inspiring role models – the passion and energy throughout the festival highlighted this year’s theme visually, creatively and through many different styles of expression.

Thank you for making Deaffest 2026 happen. We’re already looking forward to the future and carrying this incredible energy forward.

Until next time!
