MAKING TIME
Making Time is a virtual co-working group for neurodivergent artists, writers and researchers!
WHEN: Every monday morning, 10-12
HOW IT WORKS: We meet on zoom at 10 and have a little chat and everyone will be invited to share what they’ll be working on / thinking about, this bit lasts for about half an hour. Then we go away for an hour and do our own thing, before we return for the last half hour and share how that went / something we made if we want to. There’s never any pressure to have the camera on or to share or speak if you don’t want to!
WHAT IT IS:
I set up Making Time with Grace Denton in 2022 because we wanted something up to help us get started with things we need to or want to do when we technically could be doing them at any time, and because we wanted to bring a bunch of neurodivergent artists and researchers together. After about a year of doing it, we’ve got a really nice bunch of people, some who come every time and some who pop in occasionally.
The point of Making Time is to get together virtually once a week to mark the start of the week and to start something that might feel difficult to start alone together apart. There is never any pressure for the thing we do to be particularly productive. It’s not a support group but it is supportive, and people often ask for and receive advice and recommendations with both research/art/neurodivergent things and stuff that goes way beyond that.
There is no requirement to be doing art or research in any kind of official capacity, and you do not have to have any kind of diagnosis (or be in the process of getting one) to join. If you feel like it’s for you, then it’s for you!
