We’re Bea and Jill, we work together as a creative team. We’re both artists and gamers.
Bea (they/them) is an autistic, home educated teenager mostly working in digital and online art.
Jill (she/her) is Bea’s mum and carer. She’s founder and director of A Collective, a creative health and wellbeing organisation for neurodivergent people and a freelance consultant / creative facilitator.
What do we do?
We have a joint creative practice where we explore identity and community. We think about things like neurodivergence, online existence, alternative digital art practices, gamification, accessibility… our main website is here.
We like talking about what it feels like to be autistic, in mind and body, but also in the world. We consider how public spaces are not always accessible to autistic people and how organisations could make events more inclusive.
Most of all, we love gaming and so we’re exploring how we can use games as a medium to make art and tell stories.
