Autism and art: how my identity shapes my artwork
Published on August 10, 2023
Iqra Babar is a 23 year old Autistic ADHDer, Muslim & Pakistani digital artist, student teacher and neurodivergent advocate based in London. Her work largely consists of exploring her South Asian culture and heritage through her original characters, culturally thematic art pieces and her webcomic, DARJIN. She also enjoys drawing art of her favourite comic book, anime or video game characters occasionally. Iqra is passionate about understanding disability and neurodivergency, exploring the intersection of identity within art, education policies and hyperfixating on fictional characters.
Iqra will be discussing her background and how this all helped develop her artistic style.
