Deacon is a Melbourne-based photo artist, video maker, performer, writer and broadcaster, whose images work to re-interpret, parody and make transparent cultural stereotypes. For the Open Weekend, she presents for the first time a new performance work which further engages these themes and incorporates several of her familiar subjects, including dolls.

As Natalie King wrote in Destiny Deacon: walk & don’t look blak for Sydney’s Museum of Contemporary Art, 'Dolls are silent reminders of childhood, but Deacon gives voice to her dolls by communicating feelings… these dolls are decapitated, amputated or contorted, thereby becoming animated and expressive characters in Deacon’s psychodramas. In doing so, they confront prejudice and inequality in their inimitable way.’
