What's on Calendar Exhibition: §1NDA - a neurodivergent aesthetic by DYSPLA Opening Times Tuesday - Friday, 11am - 5pm Saturday, 11am - 4pm Closed Sunday and Monday Visit the Stephen Lawrence Gallery website A digital art exhibition by award-winning neurodivergent-led organisation DYSPLA at Stephen Lawrence Gallery in Greenwich. Shape Arts have mentored DYSPLA through the Transforming Leadership programme and have come on board in as advisors for this exhibition. Opening with a private view on 9 April from 5pm. A Relaxed PV takes place at 2pm on 25 April. Register for your free ticket to attend! About the exhibition: 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.
