DYSPLA & Frankie Brady, Enfield is Disabled (2024)
Is there a link between Neurodivergence and Creativity? How important is Neurodivergence within our creative industries? Can the creative industries survive without Neurodivergence? In this talk, Artist, Dr. Katherine Hewlett MBE of the Charity, AchieveAbility, and Award Winning & Arts Council England supported Artist Lennie Varvarides of DYSPLA, will explore the ‘value’ of Neurodivergence in Creativity and how cognitive diversity is essential to innovation in our creative industries and wider society. Specially commissioned digital artwork, created by DYSPLA Artist, Kazimir Bielecki, will be screened alongside speakers.
AchieveAbility is a charity committed to working with adults who are neurodivergent and dyslexic. To do this, we work with our partners by providing opportunities for published research-informed work and by delivering practice in the fields of: employment, education, training, social justice and cultural change.
DYSPLA is a Neurodivergent-led, award-winning arts studio producing and developing the work of Neurodivergent storymakers. Supported by the Arts Council England to create short form narrative and digital art research to elucidate the Neurodivergent Aesthetic.
This event is taking place during Neurodiversity Celebration Week 17 - 23 March 2025 ‘Celebrating Different Minds.’
