Artist

Interdisciplinary practice, Film and Screen, Community Arts · Thornbury, VIC

Irene Holub is a Deaf CALD artist, filmmaker, advocate, and director whose practice explores human connection through the lens of Deaf culture. Her work spans projection, theatre, film, and multimedia forms, grounded in lived experience and shaped by a deep curiosity about communication, language, and identity. Through visual storytelling and poetry, she articulates unseen languages and complex emotional landscapes, creating work that is both intimate and socially resonant.

She has worked across collaborative arts, Deaf arts, advocacy, community engagement, and culturally inclusive creative practice, and is committed to accessibility, representation, storytelling, and amplifying Deaf and diverse voices through contemporary artistic expression.

ADNA acknowledges the lived and living experience of people with disability and their family members, carers and supporters.

We recognise the huge contribution people with lived and living experience make to ADNA's work, disability advocacy, and arts and culture in general.

ADNA uses ‘person-first language,’ emphasising the person, not the disability. As a disability-led organisation, we also embrace ‘identity-first’ language, acknowledging disability as identity.

ADNA acknowledges the many Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia. We honour their Elders past and present. We cherish the richness of First Nations peoples' artistic and cultural expressions.
