About

AS PART OF OUR MOVING DIVERSITY FORWARD SERIES, THRESHOLD STUDIOS PRESENTS A COLLIDER CREATIVE CONVERSATION.

We Are All Neurodiverse: New perspectives, new definitions – in partnership with Flow Observatorium and Attenborough Arts Centre

“Neurodiversity is the diversity of human brains and minds.”
– Nick Walker

Join our panel of creatives trailblazing a new path of visibility and representation for artists who experience the world differently – through Autism, Dyslexia or ADHD, for example.

What are the unique contributions and perspectives that neurodivergent artists bring to arts experiences, and what role does technology have to play?

We’ll be exploring ways to raise the profile of neurodivergent artists, asking if now is the right time for a social chain reaction that supports them in vocalising and addressing equity, enabling fair play and inclusivity in every area of arts and culture?

Chaired by Susan Jones, published writer and researcher, with Jon Adams, artist and National Autistic Society Cultural Ambassador and Mike Layward, Artistic Director at DASH Arts, a disability-led visual arts organisation.

Co-curated with Boseda Olawoye, Engagement Curator.
