About this Event
The exhibition positions neurodivergence as culturally significant, intellectually rigorous and central to contemporary art practice. It asks whether difference itself—divergent cognition—can be seen, identified and understood through aesthetics. While recognising that identity is shaped by multiple factors including environment, education and privilege, DYSPLA argues that cognition plays a fundamental role in artistic identity, methodology and creative output.
Alongside the installation, the programme will include panel discussions, roundtable debates, free workshops and public conversations with leading neurodivergent artists, academics, curators and critical peers. These events will explore questions such as: Does neurodivergence shape inspiration, behaviour, taste and aesthetics? Can neurodivergence function as a material or methodology for art-making?
Open to audiences both within and beyond London’s neurodivergent art community, the exhibition invites public participation in an evolving conversation about creativity, difference and the legitimacy of the Neurodivergent Aesthetic.
