The Neurodivergent Artist Collective (NAC) is a new collaborative effort by neurodivergent artists in Vancouver to take space in a neurotypical world and works to dismantle invisible inequities in contemporary art spaces.
Members of the collective self-identify as neurodivergent and have felt alienated from engaging in the arts due to barriers such as a lack of access. The collective aims to be a safe space for folks facing socio-economic barriers, from differing cultural backgrounds, and of all sexual orientations and gender identities. The exhibition will feature NAC members:
- Aliza Bosa
- Amy (Yun Ru) Bao
- Tuyết Ánh Judith Nguyễn
- Aurore Dupont-Sagorin
- Randall Bear Barnetson
- Caitlin Callaghan
- Chantelle Chan
- Jae Lew
- Jasper Berehulke
- Leanna Manning
- Mars Jarvis
- Olusha Milley
- Yes I Don’t
