Artist Statement:

The rainbow is inspired by the double-rainbow image often used to signify the relationship between the neurodiversity and LGBTQ+ movements. These movements run parallel to each other, giving rise to the concept of neuroqueer (active and simultaneous resistance to ableism, neuronormativity and cisheteronormativity). The warm yellow tones of the image invoke the gold infinity symbol used to signify autism by autistic and neurodivergent communities.

Ryan Boren’s words “enable dignity. enable accessibility” align with the image well. Overall, the design invites viewers to think about dignity and accessibility as community ideals that need to be produced and upheld collectively. It also invites viewers to imagine these ideals as acts that affirm and create space for embodied differences, multiplicity and interdependence.
