What does neurodivergence look like in artistic practice? 🤔⁠ ⁠ Our latest exhibition offers a neurodivergent approach to exhibition making.⁠ ⁠ Sonia Boué (@S_Boué) and Ashokkumar Mistry (@AshokDMistry), both neurodivergent artists, have formed @LasGemelas_Colab to create Las Gemelas: Arrival (a lexicon of unmaking).⁠ ⁠ In their radically different responses to archival materials, new notions of caregiving are expressed: on one hand, the trauma of exile is recognised by a tender act of memory-care work; on the other, a flamboyant unmaking of⁠ expectations of historical photographs into a kaleidoscope of pattern, textile and community.⁠ ⁠ Experience the work for yourself until 11 January 2025!

EVENT ALERT! 🚨⁠ .⁠ Ella Frears Workshop and In Conversation Monday 11 November Workshop: 2-4pm | In Conversation & Performance: 6-7pm ⁠. In partnership with @artfulscribeuk, we’re thrilled to be celebrating the release of @EllaFrears’ new book, Goodlord: An Email, with the poet herself! Ella joins us for a fun and low pressure poetry workshop in the afternoon, followed by a discussion with the author and a performance in the evening.⁠ ⁠. Taking the form of one long email addressed to an estate agent, Goodlord is a fictional memoir of habitation, a genre-defying novelistic text that beautifully evokes the people and places of our lives – the spaces of work, those that may or may not be ‘home’, sites of trauma and ecstasy.⁠ . Workshop: 2-4pm Join Ella for a fun and low pressure poetry workshop thinking about modes of communication. . Who are we addressing when we write? How can shifting the tone of that writing disrupt or enrich that writing? . You’ll experiment with writing in various forms of address – from love letters to emails, from formal complaints to grocery lists, from proclamations to DMs, and everything in between. . No writing experience necessary, ages 18+ only. . ««««« . In Conversation & Performance: 6-7pm In the evening, Ella will be in discussion with Matt West, Director of Artful Scribe, as well as performing some of her latest work. There will also be opportunity for an audience Q&A. . Tickets £10 (includes the Workshop and the In Conversation & Performance) . In Conversation and Performance is free for students. Use promo code STUDENT at checkout. Student ID must be shown upon arrival. ⁠.
