17th Sign of the Times 2026 presenter reveal: Irene Holub ✨
Irene is a Deaf CALD multidisciplinary artist, yogini, filmmaker, therapist, advocate and founder of Auslansoul whose work explores human connection through Deaf culture, deaf spaces and lived experience. Grounded in disability justice and “nothing about us without us,” she champions Deaf leadership, arts and community wellbeing.
We look forward to her presentation, "What gets you out of bed in the morning?"
What gets you out of bed in the morning? Alarm clock, breakfast, work, kids, duties, etc - we have many reasons. Yet when do we follow our inner self to trust, initiate, and lead ourselves? What is the inner self, and why is this so important, especially in our current world of distractions and influences? In this presentation, Irene will talk about the power of connecting with our inner selves.
