Flow Observatorium is an equality and diversity charity, set up in 2017, that aims to become a national hub for, and led by, Neurodivergent people. Flow actively supports Neurodivergent people to make work, collaborate, and engage within society, the cultural sector and support the co-creation of attitudinal and physical ‘safe spaces’ for Neurodivergent people to lead fulfilled lives.

OUR PICK
OF THE MONTH

We really like this, from our pals at Mainspring Arts.

And we're a bit biased as it contains one of the short stories by our artistic director, Jon Adams.

'In Other Words, an anthology as diverse as the writers themselves. Some cover trauma, societal issues and stigma; others offer fragments of hope and light. Some reach back in time while others transport us to another dimension altogether. There is heartbreak, wit, humour, poignancy and above all a mastery of the imagination.'

PREVIOUS FLOW AWARD WINNERS

We give a 'Flob' Award to organisations whom we feel work and engage with Neurodivergent creatives in an enabling, transparent and refreshing way.

We hope these organisations have set a way-point and a model of good practice that other organisations should seek to follow.

Previous awards have gone to Filskit Theatre Company,
and Mainspring Arts
