Let's vibrate!talk

Welcome to a conversation celebrating neurodiversity, where accessibility is fundamental to the entire event! 

Author and curator Johanne Nordby Wernø and artist and curator Aidan Moesby meet to explore how different ways of sensing and experiencing the world can both enrich and challenge artistic practices. The conversation will be moderated by Tirill Bjørkeli Svaler, writer and scholarship holder at OsloMet. The conversation celebrates the breadth of neurodivergent perspectives, while participants highlight the barriers that still characterise the art world – from structural expectations of what is considered the ‘right’ way to participate, to how institutions can become more inclusive. 

Throughout the event, the audience can create their own fidget objects in an open workshop developed by Kassia Marin, Martine Aadne Gulliksen and Christian Blandhoel. The workshop invites participants to listen, be present and move around the room on their own terms. 

If the audience needs a break, it will be possible to visit the quiet room in Amfi during the conversation.

The event strives to be as accessible as possible for neurodivergent people and others who seek calmer sensory experiences. At the same time, we recognise that needs are many and varied, and that we cannot accommodate everyone's preferences. Feedback from the audience is therefore very important and will be included in a report submitted to the museum at the end of the project.  

Let's vibrate! – an exercise in creating neurodivergent art spaces is Stephanie Serrano Sundby's mediation project for the fifth edition of SOLO OSLO.  

The project and event have been created in collaboration with Kassia Marin, Martine Aadne Gulliksen and Christian Blandhoel.
