It’s just after 8pm in Perth on a balmy Tuesday night and I’m yelling at a building: “WHERE IS YOUR AUDIO DESCRIPTION?” I’m not alone – 20 or so people are part of this alfresco protest. There’s a general feeling of low-key jubilation; someone cackles; others whoop. Sometimes it’s just good to have a yell. Even better in a group. Best of all if your cause is righteous. “FONT TOO SMALL!”
We’re outside the Art Gallery of Western Australia and the words we’re chanting belong to Hugo Flavelle, a 26-year-old local artist who uses a wheelchair and has vision in his left eye only. All of us are part of his free, roving performance work Let Me In, Let Me Out, running nightly as part of Perth festival’s closing week.
