LGTBQIA + Art Workshop Booking Form
Please see below some details about the project:
The All-Age Autism Strategy have a project focusing on Gender & Sexuality and the links between neurodiversity, specifically autism. The project started with Autism ATLAS. ATLAS is a User Voice & participation group in Surrey for young people to advocate for autistic people’s voices to be heard in Surrey. ATLAS told The All-Age Autism Strategy team that their experiences regarding questioning who they are in school was a topic that most schools didn’t have an understanding of. This led to young people to feeling like they couldn’t express themselves in that environment.
The team are currently working with LGBTQ+ autistic people and their families to create an online resource centred around lived experience in schools where young people can anonymously tell their stories, (if they wish). To help young people express themselves in a creative way, they have teamed up with Charlie, a professional artist, filmmaker and mental health practitioner with a background in LGBT youth work.
Charlie has created a workshop to support neurodivergent young people to create a piece of artwork that explores what their gender and sexuality means to them. Once the young people have created their art piece, they have the option to share a photo of the piece with the All-Age Autism Strategy team. The artwork may be included, anonymously, on their website and in resources for LGBTQ+ neurodivergent young people. By sharing these art pieces, the team aims to increase the understanding of the link between neurodiversity, gender and sexuality.
Young people will also have the opportunity to include their work in a private exhibition, so that they can invite people they want to view their work.
Full joining instructions will be sent prior to the 21st October.
