About
About NEUROMANCERS
NEUROMANCERS is a Black-person led and fully queer facilitated community organisation and radical magazine for and by neurodivergents. NEUROMANCERS is a space for solidarity and education about systems of oppression, focusing on the most marginalized people affected by those systems. However, we don't exclude others who are willing to put in the work to actively decolonise themselves and the world around them. We hold a range of ages, races, identities, and experiences but are united in our goals for liberation. We are not experts, but learn through lived experience, and as abolitionists are welcome to accountability. To us, to be neurodivergent is not only related to our neurology but also a commitment to diverging from and annihilating systems of normality by allowing our creative, resilient brains to dream up worlds of liberation. Neurodivergency is inherently political, and liberationist politics are inherently divergent.
About the Workshop
In this workshop, we will be introduced to the work of NEUROMANCERS, engage in an overview of politicised neurodivergency, and explore what is means 'to NEUROMANCE' as well as practices of Peer Solidarity.
