Strange Fruit and Deaf Arts Network presented The Atrium.

161 Collins Street hosted this unique collaboration between Strange Fruit and members of Melbourne’s deaf community.

The workshops signalled the beginning of a new artistic relationship as deaf performers from Deaf Arts Network were trained to perform atop Strange Fruit’s five-metre high flexible poles.

The internal courtyard atrium of 161 Collins played an integral role in this evolving relationship; the glass that surrounds the courtyard allowed the onlooker to experience the work free from any sound.

Workshops were open to the public at all times. The project aimed to broaden awareness and understanding of cultural difference.
