Recognising and representing the diverse student community at UAL is a fundamental part of our work at Arts SU. Our mission is to understand the inequality and disparities that exist for our students in arts education and wider society so that we can respond. We want our work to provide a voice and platform to marginalised student communities, actively educating and addressing the barriers that exist.

Divergent

‘Divergent’ (2023) is the culmination of a multi-media series of experiments, research; achieved through sculpture and performance. It represents a journey to self acceptance via investigation of neurodivergent defensive mechanisms and trauma responses. It shows acceptance of the way we are wired and early stages of piecing ourselves back together. It stands for authenticity and choosing to love yourself despite societal pressure to be and to look a certain way.
