Neuro Expression is a group exhibition of artists who identify as neurodivergent. Chosen from the result of a national open call-out, each artist explores and expresses their sensory, emotional, psychological or physical experiences as neurodivergent people. An exhibition that showcases and celebrates the creativity, depth, and diversity of neurodivergent artists by bringing together works that challenge normative ways of seeing, thinking, and creating.

Everflow of thoughts crashing against

The self-built walls in my head.

Chasing the thrill and desire of

Dopamine hits,

And its constant build up of dread.

The energy drains of focus,

And the power plays of

“Don’t be too much.”

With that ever swinging pendulum,

And my button pressed down,

Stuck on, repeat.

I wish I could explain

How I don’t fit into your box,

I’m blurred outside the lines

Feeling lost.
