I am gathering a group of neurodivergent creative practitioners to work together on this project.

Participation is open to anyone who thinks they would enjoy it based on the lists below.

For this project, the word ‘Neurodivergent’ will refer to a wide and evolving definition that initially applied to includes autism and ADHD, but is expanding to include dyslexia, BPD, and other ways in which people feel that they have significantly different brains from those in ‘wider society’.

Participating will involve practicing and exploring your creative work in whatever way works for you.

While doing this, we will explore ways to be creative together that would work better for us as neurodivergent people.

Together we will come up with ideas for making it better for us to be part of the wider creative and arts community.

Potential participants
– consider themselves neurodivergent and think of this as a core part of their identity;
– consider their creative work (for example visual art, writing, movement) the most important thing they do;
– want to be part of creative communities but feel acutely excluded from these because of the neurotypical ways in which these are structured;
– are passionate about and committed to changing this.

They DO NOT need to
– have a formal diagnosis of any kind;
– make a living or have gained ‘recognition within neurotypical society for their creative work;
– meet or speak to anyone at any point during the project;
– mask or ‘act neurotypical’ or take part in any kind of neurotypically structured engagement during the project.
