About this Event

Exp.And in the Community is a unique event brought to you by The Soft Expressive CIC and National Lottery funded, focused on art, creativity and connection for autistic and ADHD women.

The art workshops are a non-judgmental space, part structure part free-flowing. The workshops were populated and facilitated by women with autism and adhd which makes it safe and easier to be authentic and discuss parts of the experience of living with one or both conditions, using art as a medium for investigating masking, loneliness and connectedness. Those working with neurodivergent women can benefit from seeing how art forms communities for these women to explore topics and create pathways to connection without the need for too much art skill, while loved ones of neurodivergent women can gain further insight into challenges and better understanding.

Join us at the Midlands Arts Centre, Birmingham for an evening of short film, showcasing creativity, collaboration, and community. Connect with like-minded individuals and explore what our future art workshops can offer you in a supportive and inclusive environment. This in-person one-off event is a great opportunity to watch our short film showing the art workshops and discussions we had, ask our participants questions in a Q&A, meet new people, share experiences, and feel empowered. Don't miss out on this special inspirational gathering designed for those who want to explore and expand their horizons through art and connection!

Watch the short film, participate in the Q&A, and sign up to hear more about how to take part in our future art workshops or refer to them, where we not only make art but explore topics like masking autism in women, masking adhd in women, loneliness, and ultimately routes back into connection.
