Sensorial

In response to the experiences of those in the neurodivergent and disabled communities who find gallery visits frustrating, noisy and ultimately unsatisfying, sensorial provides a sensory reprieve. The premise of this exhibition is to touch, listen and be immersed in the artworks, rather than simply observe them.

The exhibition includes new and existing work made by neurodivergent and disabled people, and those who work with them. The artists and collectives have wholeheartedly embraced the idea of presenting works that captivate our full range of sense and, most importantly, can be touched. The works are invitations to enter each artist's world and consider their perspective.
