Mind the Gap: Holding Space with Alison Lam
This creative workshop is open to ESEA women who are neurodiverse SEND (no need for diagnosis).
Join our recent exhibiting artist, Alison Lam in “Holding Space” - a relaxed creative workshop for ESEA women activating the mind the gap display at the Museum, which ran from 19th August to 19th October 2025. Lam will guide conversations around diaspora identity and neurodiversity, while teaching participants to transform paper into lotus flowers – a recurring motif in Lam’s work that features as paper dipped in wax, porcelain and bronze. There will also be some reflective writing exercises.
“The lotus flower grows from muddy waters, rising towards the light. It’s a symbol of resilience, renewal, and spiritual awakening. Alison Lam often works with 108 lotuses which is a sacred number in Buddhism, tied to cycles of prayer and meditation.” Celina Loh of InTransit, curator of mind the gap.
*Alison Lam’s research explores ESEA women’s experience of neurodiversity in the home.
