dis-assembly

dis assembly is a collaborative and supportive arts co-lab dedicated to neurodiversity and affirmative, creative activity to: shifting the field of research creation; supporting conditions for neurodiversity; rethinking support and collaboration; and creating networks of mutual support. We are inventing our own ways of living.

we move
with the premise that experimentation, play, and process is at the heart of experience, creation, and collaboration. We resist the pathology paradigm that characterizes autism as disordered and relanguage for understanding neurodiverse relational connections that are otherwise parsed by neurotypicality.

we think
with art, human and non-human processes, objects, atmospheres, movement, poetry, languaging, philosophy, and critical disability studies – in relation.

we are inspired
by diversity, relation, and creative synergies in a dis assembling world to consider new modes of life and new forms of perception and creation. We move with what emerges and create in materials and media that move in the making.
