Becoming Visible group exhibition with WayMakers
An exhibition capturing the work of of neurodivergent young people aged 14 – 23 from across North Devon.
Getting to know ourselves is often a lifetime’s journey: this can feel all the truer - and harder - when we’re neurodivergent and belonging is hard to come by. Becoming Visible captures the work of a group of neurodivergent young people aged 14 to 23 from across Northern Devon. Between January and March 2026, they gathered fortnightly at Studio KIND to nurture or awaken their creativity and build new connections. Led by local artist Nicky Ruddick, the young people began with the stimulus of ’spirals’ and continued to use a variety of mediums to explore interests, imagination, identity and experience. This exhibition brings together the work created during these sessions alongside a selection of work made by local artists with lived experience of neurodivergence in a celebration of how our inner and outer selves emerge through creative expression.
