We’ll be bringing people together to mark the season in a special way!

 

About Voyager 2000: Worldbeing & Wonder? 

Through video art, animation, sculpture, paintings, drawings, photography, and more, explore how art and technology, from TV to Tumblr, video games to dating apps, have shaped lives, identity, intimacy, and imagination.

This exhibition is shaped by the conversations and experiences of autistic and disabled people from SEN schools, support groups, video games, and other online spaces.
