LONDON: AUTOGRAPH
A month of collaborative exhibitions and events
Ways of Being shares approaches to inclusion and art-making, focused on issues of visibility and disability.
Set against a backdrop of austerity and increased hardship towards disabled people, Autograph has spent two years collaborating with groups and artists exploring identity through experiences of disability and neurodiversity.
We're now opening up our gallery to those collaborations for a month of exhibitions, workshops, screenings and events.
Ways of Being marks the end of the UK-wide EXPLORERS Project, highlighting the extraordinary contribution neurodiverse people make to art and culture.

New video portraits by young artists with autism and a broad spectrum of learning differences, challenging how people like themselves are represented in mainstream media.
Each three-screen film features the artist speaking directly to the camera about their everyday life, flanked by shots of the places and things that inform their identity. Based in Hackney and aged 16 - 25, all of the filmmakers are members of Mouth That Roars, a youth media organisation.

The EXPLORERS Project celebrates and raises awareness of the dynamic, extraordinary contribution neurodiverse people make to art and culture. Ways of Being has developed from a long partnership with Project Art Works and Autograph's participation in EXPLORERS.
EXPLORERS is informed and led by neurodiverse communities, in collaboration with cultural organisations across the UK and in Australia.
The project is led by Project Art Works, the UK’s leading artist led organisation working with children, young people and adults who have complex support needs. EXPLORERS is supported by the Arts Council Ambition for Excellence Programme and Paul Hamlyn Foundation. explorersproject.org
