* Drawing on ideas in relation to ‘Total Communication’ as explained by Project Art Works as “artists work[ing] together in purposeful collaboration using total communication. Gesture, sound, signing and empathy allow for more expansive and freeing forms of connection.”

*Neuroqueer is a verb: is an action, a doing word- rooted in the practice of queering (that is: subverting, disrupting, defying, liberating oneself from) from normativity and is necessarily intersectional in nature. This concept has grown out of the critical neurodiversity studies* that centers exploration of neurodivergent culture, ways of being, seeing, knowing and engaging in/with-the-world- that disrupt and challenge the normative ideal.

The term was coined by Athena Lynn Michaels-Dillon and Nick Walker.

E land ~ workshop 2 ~ your ideal sound space

E land ~ workshop 1

Just as communication is more than spoken words, sound is more than what we hear. There is a social, visual, gesture, sensory and so on experience of sound. While it is widely accepted that communication is more than words, assumptions are still made about people's engagement with the world and personhood based upon a limited idea of communication. The same is true with sound. This is an open exploration of what total sound might mean from a neurodivergent (ND) and/or D/deaf experience.
