Different by Design

An exhibition by neurodivergent artists in celebration of 10 years of Matthew’s Hub.

• Matthew’s Hub is a charity that supports autistic people and those with ADHD who live in Hull and East Yorkshire.

• This exhibition brings together 10 artists and collectives who are members of Matthew’s Hub to celebrate 10 years of the charity.

• The exhibition includes photography, sculpture, printmaking, textiles, digital art and works on paper.

• Many of the artworks in the exhibition speak about neurodiversity in different ways. Some emphasise the importance of feeling safe in natural or domestic spaces. Other artworks reveal feelings of isolation or frustration.

• Some neurodivergent people make art as a solitary practice, while others use it as a way of coming together. This exhibition celebrates both of these approaches to making.

• Artists to be announced in January 2025!
