Exhibition of work by young people from Wexham School’s Autism Resource Base – Slough Library

admin — Sun, 17 May 2009 21:14:59 +0000

An exhibition of work by young people from Wexham School’s autism resource base. produced as part of our Art Monitor programme, will be launched at Slough LIbray on Wednesday 20th May. The pupils have taken photographs in and around Slough and used them as the basis of Comic-style pages, adding their own words, thoughts and comments to tell their stories. Explains ABB’s David Sparrow:
“Our Comic project with Wexham tackled lack of self-confidence and has helped promote a wider understanding of Asperger Syndrome, and the issues these creative young people face. Through Comic-based stories they were able to explore at their own pace situations that make them happy, sad, uncomfortable or confident.”
The project is part of ABB’s Art Monitor programme, funded by Art Council England, which helps people from a range of different backgrounds address issues of self-confidence and self-determination through computer-based art.

The Comic exhibition is on the first floor at Slough Library from 18th May to 6th June, as can be visited during normal library opening hours. For more information, please call Emel Soylu on 07956 022197 emel@art-beyond-belief.com.
