Autism, Artworld & Me: Are You Creative? Live Podcast

Thursday 02 October 2025

Join Sangita Mittra and Nick Hearne from Are You Creative? Podcast with Firstsite’s Programme Manager, Exhibitions, George Morl, curator of Voyager 2000: Worldbeing and Wonder in our Autism, Artworld & Me: Are You Creative? Live Podcast!

This podcast will be recorded live in front of an audience, exploring the personal, collaborative, and creative journey behind the exhibition, which has been developed through conversations with other autistic and disabled people since 2020.

Together, we will explore autistic identity, ‘masking’, and connections with performing in online spaces, and how these experiences shaped George’s path into a career in the arts.

From navigating alternatives to network and questioning what it means to be ‘seen’ in professional and digital contexts, the discussion delves into neurodivergent perspectives on art, perception, and creativity.

Experience an honest dialogue that blends personal storytelling with critical reflections on accessibility, technology, sexual health, and the different experiences of how identity is represented in the arts.
