Safety Blankets: Discourse on Neurodivergence gathers textile artworks by 16 artists depicting their lives and experiences as neurodivergent people. Initially a Phoenix-area solo exhibition by Charissa Lucille, the project transformed when Lucille invited 15 artists from Arizona and beyond to collaboratively expand on the show's ideas, keeping with the ethos of encouraging conversation and community. Through expressions in fabric, this exhibition aims to disrupt misconceptions, spark connections and discourse, and challenge the meaning of neurodivergence.
Artists include: Phoenix Alvarado, Chris Leon Armarillas, AmyLou Bogen, Yolie Contreras, Alice Costas, Aaron Davis, Michelle Dawn, Charissa Lucille, Alistair Malone, Maira McDermott, Layla Nieves, Janelle Novotny, Ari Rendon, vivd schisms, Sheena Cly Wahid, Caroline Wilson.
