"It is so hot right now and this is what we are showcasing, showing up as our authentic and imperfect selves and showing others how to do the same," says disabled artist Jodeey OAM.
OAM is the creative lead for Australia's Alter State 2024, a 12-day arts festival for the deaf and disabled that starts Oct.
