The Neurocultures Collective
The Neurocultures Collective formed in 2020 and collaborated with Steven Eastwood to co-create STIM CINEMA and The Stimming Pool. The Neurocultures Collective comprises:
Sam Chown Ahern, a visual artist working with drawing, illustration, bookworks, photography and sound. Sam was also the co-host of the CH4 documentary Are You Autistic?;
Lucy Walker, a member of the Project Artworks Collective, working with costume and puppet making, drawing and small set building, all involving alter egos;
Georgia Kumari Bradburn, a short filmmaker whose work focuses on metamorphosis and transformation, and an embodied autistic phenomenology of cinema;
Robin Elliot-Knowles, an associate artist of the Project Artworks Collective, whose practice includes painting, drawing, and graphic-novels, considering themes of intersectionality, post-colonialism, and transgender (Robin is also the curator of the B-Movie Fan Club, a monthly screening at Hastings Electric Palace);
Benjamin Brown, a film programmer/curator whose creative practice involves drawing, video, and photography, with a particular focus on sensory ethnography (Ben also runs a film club called Citizen Autistic).

Can collectivity address the urgency of interlocking crises?
How can collaboration redistribute knowledge and practice?
What would a more accessible world feel, smell, and sound like?
