Welcoming neurodiverse participants living in Waltham Forest.

How do personal memories map public space? Some memories are loud, others are quiet. As a neurodiverse artist who has grown up in Waltham Forest, and as a teaching assistant who works with young adults with learning disabilities, Richard Lockett has come to appreciate the quiet memories that other neurodiverse people make about public spaces. But how would these memories look if they were to be transferred onto a map?

The Quiet Map Project aims to collect the memories of a place enjoyed by people who identify as neurodiverse. During the workshop, participants will be asked to draw a personal map of such a space. The artwork produced will be collected by Richard, who will create a wall hanging to be exhibited in Leytonstone Library.

The workshops will foster a meditation on quietness as reflection, a type of communication, and a form of self-representation.

A second workshop will take place on Sunday the 4 February at the Gallery (same time, same place). You are most welcome to come to both. Book here for Sunday 4 February.

Organised by WalthamScribe, currently in residency at William Morris Gallery. WalthamScribe is a creative writing group that explores different forms of storytelling in guided workshop sessions around Waltham Forest.
