DYSPLA_Chat is a monthly peer-to-peer gathering of like-minded Neurodivergent Creatives. We meet in small groups over Zoom or in-person on the first Sunday of each month, to discuss neurodivergent creativity, current projects and best ways for ND Folk to develope and advance their creative practice.
Join us online on Sunday 4th Jan 2026 at 10:00-11:30am
DYSPLA Chat will host the next edition of ‘In Our Language’ with artist and collaborator Lisa Farrell.
This months topic is on ‘Reading & The Master’s Tools’ and will explore the relationship between neurodivergence, reading, education and power.
Together we will consider how expectations around focus, comprehension and retention shape access to learning and creative work, and how alternative approaches to reading can challenge long-standing barriers within arts education and beyond.
The event includes a 17 min screening of DYSPLA’s new experimental essay film exploring the generative and performative nature of reading, followed by a facilitated group discussion.
We are particularly interested in hearing from artists and creative practitioners whose experiences of reading differ from conventional academic norms.
