Making Space: A neurodivergent coffee morning

The event is FREE for neurodivergent students.

Join transdisciplinary artist Ray, creator of 'The Goodstock' film, for a neurodovergent coffee morning. Chill, make friends, dicsuss your neuordivergent experience but most importantly take up space.

You'll also be invited to view 'The Goodstock' installation on the First Floor Galleries, as part of the Words Matter exhibition.

The Goodstock brings together mock-documentary film, moving image, and spatial design to question inherited narratives and consider what a more equitable and compassionate future could look like. The work imagines a world that values the neurodivergent mind and diverse ways of experiencing life, offering an environment that tends to the needs of historically excluded communities and acts as a retreat from the relentless individualism of capitalist structures.

Ray is an award-winning transdisciplinary performance artist, writer, educator and coach. Creating unique, genre-defying work through collaboration and resistance to traditional form, Ray's practice exists at the boundaries of live art, activism and immersive experience. Recent work includes the critically acclaimed OUT, which recently toured internationally to Vancouver, Toronto and Belgium following a UK tour culminating at Sadlers Wells, and BODIES, an immersive installation exploring human relationships with water, discovery and rest.

Words Matter is a multi-disciplinary exhibition showcasing the works of twelve artists who participated in a six-month knowledge exchange programme, exploring UCL’s historic role in promoting the pseudoscience of eugenics. The exhibition is free and open to all at UCL East campus, Marshgate building, E20 2AE.
