YELLOW MINDS is a multidisciplinary project connecting neurodivergence, Latinx communities and the performing arts.

THE YELLOW TRAFFIC LIGHT

Boom-Plaft-Poooow! Granda Gerson crashed the beloved postcard of the city. Now, his Brazilian family is dealing with his “attitude problem” in a very special way. Whilst we try to uncover why grandpa would do such a thing, we find out more about his peculiar family, the secrets, hypocrisies, and ideologies that separate, but oddly unite them as well.

Neurodiverse minds often find it easy to do more than one thing at a time. What are the specifics in the creation process when the author of the work is a neuroatypical artist? What are the possibilities of innovation? What methods and exercises can contemplate a neurodiverse way of thinking?

Neurodiversity is a term originally coined by the Australian sociologist, Judy Singer, in the late 90s. This concept is representative of the fact that differences in neurology should be recognized and respected as a social category, similarly to ethnicity, socioeconomic class, sexual orientation, gender, or disability. When we recognize neurodiversity in our society as a result of biodiversity, we can shift mainstream perceptions of marginalised NeuroMinorities, replacing negative, deficit-based stereotypes of neurodiversity with a more balanced valuation of their gifts and needs.
