Constellations
an exhibition of works by Autistic Artists-Researchers
Patrycja Loranc * Mars Saude * Joanne Dorothea-Smith
Heightened sensory sensitivities, alternate communication styles. Repetition and patterns as soothing interaction with the complexity of the universe. This project brings together Autistic Artists-Researchers to explore a convergence of sensory and cognitive realities within practice research which anchors the investigations at the intersection of perception, philosophy, and relationships with nature.
With an interest in phenomenology and relationships to the surrounding world, the works ask questions about unique experiences that cannot be described or explained within the confines of academic writing, social interaction or even solely verbal language. It is an invitation to explore worlds of neurodivergent perception and contexts of investigation that allow understanding to arise through non-conceptual knowledge, through direct experience of the works.
Events:
Exhibition | 6 - 12th April 2024 | 37 Looe Street/ButCH | Plymouth |
Film Screening + Panel Discussion | Wednesday 10th April at | Jill Craigie Cinema | University of Plymouth | 6 - 8pm |
