An Aussie theatre company is taking their accessible work to one of the world's premier venues.Photographer Brenden Borellini is smashing assumptions about what is and isn't possible through his art. Check out the below video interview with 7 News Mackay, which describes how Brenden, who is deaf and blind, takes his photos.
An exhibition of Brenden's latest work is now on at The Grazing Goat Cafe in Mackay, with the support of Crossroad Arts Inc, and runs until May 17. The exhibition will include works printed in 3D so that other people with vision impairments can feel them.
