Opening December 4 at 11 a.m.

NEURODIVERSITY?

As part of a reporting workshop supervised by Denis Ponté, students in the “Understanding and combating prejudice” course and the “Academic Horizon” program at the University of Geneva were able to use photography to document their understanding of neurodevelopmental disorders: how are these disorders perceived by students? What impact do they have on the people concerned and those around them? How can such disorders be reconciled with studies and private life?

11 students – Sara Almeida, Salma Bairouk, Isabell Begemann, Caroline Breton, Aileen Colmenares, Laetitia Deniña-Oguey, Elsa Duchez, Loane Ménétrey, Marianne Paredes, Maryna Syhydiuk and Céline Wüthrich – use the refined medium of visual representation to share their often intimate experiences of these socially invisible disorders and the discrimination they entail.

This exhibition,the 5th in the University | Diversity series, is a contribution to the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, celebrated on December 3.
