EMPAC Studio Beta

Please join iEAR Presents! for the second ISATMA 2025 Workshop: Neurodivergent Knowing and Creating: Media, Thinking, Scholarship, Pedagogy, Crip Curation. This second workshop features a panel discussion, which opens and closes with 30-minute periods reserved for participants to gather and rest in a 360-degree space of ambient sound and moving image.

When we talk about “neurodivergence,” what exactly do we mean? Within EMPAC’s 360-degree projection space, this open dialogue brings together researcher-practitioners making valuable contributions to the field to consider how neurodivergent body-minds relate with their environment, technology, humans, and the more-than-human. Framed by Hanne De Jaegher’s theory of Participatory Sense-Making and co-facilitator Jonny Drury’s Autism Dialogue Approach, we explore neurodivergent media, thinking, scholarship, and pedagogy, as well as crip curation. This includes the subject of access in academia, a lens through which the breadth of institutional colonialism may be discussed. Together with the audience, the collective acumen and experience of our hybrid panelists will be dreaming these subjects forward.

Registration required. The link for the virtual attendance option will be provided with registration. For more information and to register, please click here.
