DiverCITY | Anvbiennale

DiverCITY – "DiverCITY" is an inclusive art project about life in a big city by ArtNeuroVerse Biennale in collaboration with HaMecarer Gallery (Tel Aviv). It invites artists with ASD and other neurodivergences, as well as anyone interested in exploring the theme of the city in a broad context, to participate in a research art laboratory. This will culminate in an exhibition where participants can express their views on the modern city, our relationships with it, points of discomfort and inspiration in urban environments, observations, history, questions for the city, its sounds, shapes, processes, and dreams of a better future city.
