Creative
Conversations
(Workshop, 2025)
Autistic women tend to be diagnosed a lot latter than their male counterparts, often heavily hiding their true identities throughout their formative years. In response to this, I was motivated to build a creative community whereupon Neurodivergent women could come and share their experience through creative practise. Through my experience of facilitating creative workshops in the past, I was aware how the act of ‘doing’ often made people feel more comfortable to share their stories.
‘Creative Conversations’ was a pilot workshop looking at how mark-making; (creating through various lines, textures and patterns), could not only be used as a mindful activity, but one that provided a ‘safe-space’ for participants to be authentically themselves. The project required me to develop skills within promotional design, budgeting/ planning and workshop facilitation.
