International White Cane Day Group Walk
2025-10-19 10:00 - 14:00
Deafblind West Australians invite you to join us on Sunday 19 October at Tomato Lake Reserve for our Annual White Cane Day Sponsored Walk to raise funds for our peer support group and to celebrate International White Cane Day 2025.

WHAT IS A SPONSORED WALK ?
A sponsored walk is a fundraising event where many people walk together to raise money to support their charity by collecting donations of money from people they know.

HOW CAN YOU HELP ?
You can help DBWA fundraise money by asking your friends, family, neighbours and colleagues to fill in the DBWA White Cane Day Sponsored Walk Form to say they will donate money for you to walk around Tomato Lake.

MONEY CAN BE PAID THE FOLLOWING WAYS:
CASH payment
DBWA Square Reader Tap-and-Go payment at the event

Everyone is welcome to participate in the walk with our Deafblind Community and help raise funds for DBWA.

The more people who join our walk, the more money we can raise.

You can walk around the lake as many times as you want to or as many times as you can.
Every step you take will help raise deafblind awareness and every dollar you raise will help DBWA to continue to support our Deafblind Community in WA.

Did you know that you don’t have to walk to help raise money for DBWA ?
If you are unable to walk (or walking is not your thing) you can still support us by collecting sponsorship donations and a DBWA Community member will do the walk for you.

Fremantle Biennale presents Microfictions
2025-11-14 16:00 - 18:00
Date: 14 November at 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM
Location: Naval Store -141 Queen Victoria St, Fremantle
Duration: 60 minutes, looped
Event Information: This event is held indoors and undercover. The performance can be entered at any time during opening hours.

Step into an unfurling cosmos of sound, movement and poetry in Microfictions — a major new commission by internationally acclaimed duo Hylozoic/Desires (Himali Singh Soin & David Soin Tappeser), in collaboration with Vessel Contemporary. Occupying Fremantle’s iconic Naval Store, this live performance installation is a slowly shifting meditation on land, love and deep time.

Audiences are invited to recline in suspended hammocks — floating, as if in the ocean — while a sand mandala in the form of a topographical map morphs slowly beneath them. Charting a course from the ancient supercontinent Pangea to the speculative future of Pangea Ultima, performers trace the outlines of the evolving continents with materials native and invasive — white sand, crushed limestone, salt, even flecks of gold, camel hair and cuttlefish— shaping and reshaping borders in an eternal drama of impermanence.

Tapping into planetary turbulence, Microfictions is a poetic and sonic meditation on weight — what anchors us — and lightness — what defies gravity and how we drift. Accompanied by a score for upright bass, electric harp and percussion, recalling the tectonic rhythms and rumbles of the Earth, Microfictions traverses oceans, continents and hemispheres imagining futures of intermingling cultures and languages, ecological entanglements and human-nonhuman dependencies. This is a powerful call to the intimacy of deep memory and land both as displacement and reconciliation.

Hylozoic/Desires’ expansive and celebrated practice has been presented at leading institutions including the Serpentine (London), Desert X (California), Shanghai Biennale, Venice Biennale, Sharjah Biennale and the Swiss Institute (New York). Microfictions marks their much-anticipated Australian premiere.

Fremantle Biennale - Wednesday’s at the End of the World
2025-11-19 19:00 - 21:00
Date: 19th November at 7:00PM

Location: Sailing for Oranges – LEVEL 1, 33 South terrace, Fremantle
Duration: 2 hours
This event is held indoors and undercover.
This is a ticketed performance. Latecomers will not be admitted. Please arrive 10 minutes before the performance start time.

Over the past year, theatre/music maker Max Barton has been gathering artists and audiences for a series of one-night-only apocalypse experiments — Wednesdays at the End Of the World. Each month, in a new location across Walyalup, four guest artists have responded to a different end-of-the-world scenario — AI takeovers, meteor strikes, judgement days and climate collapses — woven together into a live mixtape of music, theatre and philosophical reflection.

Playful, haunting and surprisingly hopeful, these nights have been about facing the final curtain with humour and honesty, then coming back to the present with fortitude and community spirit. Each event has asked: what do we hold onto when everything is falling away? What can we do together to hold off the inevitable?

For the Fremantle Biennale, Barton assembles a stellar lineup of musicians and storytellers for a one-off panpocalypse finale. Set by the water, it’s an invitation to sit together at the edge, contemplate the worst — and make it to the other side of the night stronger.

The Lifetime of Deaf and Deafblind 2 – A powerful Deaf-led celebration of language, connection and identity
2026-01-24 16:00 - 17:00
Deafinite Connection returns to Fringe World 2026 with The Lifetime of Deaf and Deafblind 2 — a captivating new work directed by Peter Blockey, featuring acclaimed Deaf performer Princess Nidera, deafblind artist Eddie Szczepanik and a talented ensemble of hearing performers.

Through Auslan, visual theatre and expressive movement, this evocative production shares personal and cultural stories from Deaf and deafblind experiences. It is a heartfelt exploration of language, resilience and belonging — performed entirely in Auslan and English to accommodate for both Deaf and hearing audiences.

Building on the success of the original Lifetime of Deaf and Deafblind, this new chapter features six original signed songs inspired by Auslan poetry, developed by a Deaf-led creative team with an interpreter and hearing supports. The result is a vivid and inclusive theatrical work that connects communities through shared expression and artistry.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A stunningly expressive and deeply human performance — a rare window into the Deaf world that leaves audiences speechless.” – FringeFeed Review

“This project is about Deaf people telling their own stories — our way, our language, our culture. It’s about visibility, empowerment and sharing the beauty of Auslan with everyone.” – Peter Blockey, Director

Created with the support of Deaf Connect, The Lifetime of Deaf and Deafblind 2 is a testament to the passion, creativity, and determination of the Deaf arts community in Western Australia.

Audiences can experience this powerful and inclusive production at Fringe World 2026. The show will be running on January 24th, 25th, 31st & February 1st at 4:50PM in The Hat Trick in The Pleasure Garden, Russell Square, Northbridge.
