In 2024, BLINK took part in A New Direction’s I AM Festival; a yearly celebration empowering Deaf, disabled, and neurodivergent young people to explore their creativity. Working alongside eight students at Cherry Garden School, we co-created a piece of work called ‘Flick, Swirl, Bounce, Choose’, responding to the festival’s theme, ‘See Me, Hear Me’.

We also ran two CPD sessions for teachers during the festival week; Creative Communication techniques for the classroom, empowering teachers to elevate the voices of Deaf, disabled and neurodivergent students in their classrooms, and Sensory Storytelling Revamped, sharing practical strategies for co-creating exciting & culturally relevant sensory experiences.

Feeling Our Way Through the Pandemic

Co-curated by Touretteshero and Wellcome Collection, ‘Feeling Our Way’ was an exploration of our relationship with touch, amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. Our film, ‘Feeling Our Way Through the Pandemic, ’ shares the story of our work and the importance of safe touch in our activities.
