I was interested in photography but I didn’t really know what I was doing at that point. I did a short black and white photography course here at the Museum and that was when I really fell in love with photography and decided from that point on that I wanted to be a photographer.." — Award Winning Photographer Ivor Prickett

Join us to celebrate the opening of Unusual Gestures by IRish Artist Lorraine Tuck.

Unusual Gestures | Lorraine Tuck

Irish artist Lorraine Tuck’s newly commissioned work tells the story of a family living with autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disability.

<p>Tuck is the mother of four children, two boys and two girls. The boys have autism spectrum disorder, which in the case of the youngest, is coupled with severe intellectual disability. Unusual Gestures provides insights into the far-reaching implications that neurodiversity and disability present for families. It explores the impacts - some subtle, some fundamental - on parental and sibling relationships, and charts the challenges and joys of everyday family life. The exhibition succeeds in capturing how everyone, neurotypical as well as neurodiverse, forms the centre of their own separate and singular world, while at the same time it celebrates how we are all inescapably inter-connected to the human family tree.</p>
