Neurokindred presents
Thriving Autistically 2026
An online festival by and for neurodivergent people: conversation, play and performance, designed so you can take part in your own way.
Join from your own space, in your own clothes, with your own snacks. Cameras are optional, chat is welcome and nobody is made to perform being fine.

The art exhibition
An online gallery, open to everyone
Alongside the festival there is an online exhibition of work by neurodivergent artists: drawing, painting, photography, textiles, writing, music, whatever you make. Entry is free, you can enter more than once, and you can enter anonymously if you would rather.
Part of the exhibition is themed, and the theme is being chosen by the community.
Opening soon Suggest the exhibition themePresenting this year?
