Visual Artist Anna Boggon presents a new interactive exhibition of fantastical artworks that explore concepts of neuroscience and neurodiversity through sound, sculpture, photography, painting and collaborative interventions.

The exhibition is part of a larger community arts project funded by Arts Council England. It brings together local communities in Alexandra Palace and Park through a series of public and pop-up neighbourhood events, educational workshops and a public architectural intervention.

Alexandra Palace Park sets the stage for It Really Doesn’t Matter If Your Curtains Don’t Match (IRDM) (nature meets urban), as a place of amusement and chance encounters witnessed, by the artist and mother from an outsider’s perspective, as if looking in like an extra in the wrong movie.

Through the journey of unravelling and unwrapping, IRDM shines a light on the positive ‘differences’ that can be found within the complex intricacies of Neuroscience and Neurodiversity as well as acknowledging lived realities. It explores ways to question fixed perspectives and create a greater awareness of differing thought processes through exploration experience, conversation, and above all, community.

The allegorical title alludes to what is important in life and challenges conformity, appearances, societal hierarchies, and norms; where everyone is expected to look, dress and sound a certain way to feel comfortable. It also hints at hidden realities and questions of taste.

The exhibition is accessible to all, adults, children, and anyone who thinks outside the box! Thematically, it brings together magic, illusion, curiousness, humour and education.

No pre-booking required, just turn up.
