Challenging Normalcy: QT2SBIPOC Neurodivergent Worldviews

Join us and the OISE BIPOC Thesis Group for our roundtable storytelling and artmaking gathering as we come together to explore the shifting landscapes of our identities as neurodivergent QT2SSBIPOC individuals. Through storytelling and artmaking, we will reflect on how the recognition, confirmation, and acceptance of our neurodivergence as late-diagnosed (medically or self-diagnosed) adults—has shaped the way we see ourselves and the world around us. This journey is not linear, nor monolithic; it is woven with threads of joy, grief, and vindication as we explore our ways of being as QT2SBIPOC neurodivergent beings.

As multisensory and Thinai storytellers, our storytelling practice blends oral, written, visual, textual, and movement-based expressions. This space will invite various forms of storytelling, embracing the richness of different modes of expression. Attendees will engage in zine-making to center QT2SBIPOC neurodiverse embodied knowledge production.

This event, a closed space for QT2SSBIPOC neurodivergent individuals (medically or self-diagnosed), offers a space for sharing, creating, and reflecting in community, honoring the complexities of our lived experiences. The event is affiliated with the OISE BIPOC Thesis Group.
