Embracing neurodiversity in creativity, to form safe spaces, Main Arena, 2pm, 12th September 2024
The creative industry and all that it encompasses is home to a variety of people, and the diversity amongst creatives is vast. Neurodiversity and neurodivergence are terms we hear more of these days, as we learn, understand and accept that being neurodivergent is absolutely nothing to be afraid. Research has taught us that most neurodivergent people have one thing in common – creativity. This panel discussion delves into how we can embrace neurodiversity in creativity so that we’re developing safe and secure environments not only for ourselves, but for those around us.
Speakers are Henna Helander, architect at HHC and Tim Reusch, head of consulting & planning studio at Vitra.
This talk is free to attend.
