Re•Storying Autism ‘In’ Difference Video Exhibit

Tangled Art + Disability September 9, 2022-October 13, 2022

Family, kin, educators and practitioners from across Canada (Turtle Island), the United Kingdom and Aotearoa (New Zealand) who work with and love Autistic individuals created videos on the Re•Storying Autism project about their experiences of education between 2016-2022. The video makers challenge global North, settler colonialist, biomedical, paternalistic, individualistic and other deficit approaches to support and forward collective, relational care. The videos chosen for this exhibit were made online and in person, before and during COVID-19.

Content note: The stories in the videos shared below contain the full range of human experience, from joy to trauma. We invite you to consider what we call a care-full neuro-crip beholding of the videos—perhaps stopping and starting the film, having a comfort item close by, reaching out to someone you trust, stimming or something else that makes you feel good. You can also write to us about your experience of the video exhibit at the end of this page.
