This conference is part of the Anfinn Research Project, which explores neurodivergent creative artistic practices and how arts spaces can become more inclusive of these: The Anfinn project uses practice-based and participatory action research methods to investigate: why neurodivergent creative outputs, practices and practitioners are often excluded from creativity discourses and spaces; how to change this (for example by experimenting with spaces, modes of participation, demonstration and creative activism); why to change this (for example considering the harms done to the excluded, the incompleteness of any exclusionary creative movement, the unique innovations and outputs neurodivergent creatives are developing). The project hypothesis is that the potential for exploration and integration of neurodivergent creativity is disproportionately unrealised due to ableist systems and structures.  The project conference will be a cross-genre (academic, creative, activist, experimental and more) sharing of ideas by neurodivergent creative practitioners and creativity researchers.
