Autistic, Surviving and Thriving Under COVID-19
A Zine Exhibit at Tangled Art + Disability Gallery September 9-October 21, 2022
In the early days of COVID-19, the Re•Storying Autism Arts Collective held an eight-week virtual workshop on digital zine-making with Autistic makers from across Canada fuelled by a desire for Autistic futures where neurodivergent voices re-shape the world in radically affirming ways.
Content Note: The zines presented below reflect a full range of experiences from celebration, connection, and joy, to pain. We invite you to practice what we call a care-full neuro-crip reading —reading slowly, skipping over pages, 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 zine exhibit at the end of this page.
