I’m Me: Identity, Representation and Voice

I’m Me: Identity, Representation and Voice will amplify the voices of learning disabled and autistic artists through creative research.

Three people shout in different directions with varying exaggerated expressions of rage, confusion and anticipation. They are all wearing black stab vests with the words ‘NO DNR’ stencilled onto the vests in white paint. Jess, a white woman with curly brown hair is in the centre of the image. Her mouth is open and she is looking upwards as she shouts. Charmaine, a light skinned black woman of mixed heritage, is behind Jess to the left of the image. She is wearing a green knitted snood and is looking into the distance with an expression of extreme frustration. Chopin, a white person with long dark brown curly hair and a fringe. She has both of her eyes closed and her mouth is open as she shouts with her head tilted upwards.
