Hello Halo

Project Art Works collaborates with people with complex support needs, families and circles of support. Our practice intersects art and care, responding to neurodivergence, its gifts and impacts. Challenging paradigms of inclusion, it spans direct practical and holistic support, film, events, projects and exhibitions.Our studios provide the conditions for a broad range of autonomous and collaborative practices with neurodivergent artists, who take part on their own terms. Alongside the studios, the Support Collective brings together people who care for people with complex support needs where we share our experience and protect our rights through training, resources and advocacy.Human connection and what it reveals about identity and how we view each other are explored within our work. Our practice continues to respond to the functional and ethical structures of diligence and care, respecting self-determination and privacy whilst working towards greater visibility and understanding of neurodiversity in culture.Project Art Works is an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation. Alongside neurodiverse artists and makers, the collective includes paid and unpaid caregivers who help each other to navigate through the complexities of health and social care systems.Discover more at www.projectartworks.org.

Hello Halo was written for and performed by vocal ensemble EXAUDI and Ruby Colley on Violin.Hello Halo is a composition that was developed alongside Paul Colley, Ruby’s brother, who is neurodivergent and non-verbal. Despite being termed "non-verbal," Paul uses a rich repertoire of sounds and gestures to communicate. Colley transcribed these communication methods, using live voice and recordings of Paul, to make a vocal map of his life and relationships. Colley explains: “Hello Halo is an intimate examination of communication, both subtle and nuanced, that asks questions of what it means to be human.”This piece is both an archival snapshot of Paul's life and relationships and a metanarrative, collaborative effort growing out of these connections into the sphere of a moving artistic statement..The album artwork was created by Paul Colley as he keeps an active visual art practice which can be explored via <a href="https://projectartworks.org/makers/paul-colley/" title="https://projectartworks.org/makers/paul-colley/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Project Art Works</a>.Project Art Works offers level access throughout and is suitable for wheelchair users.We have allowed time in the programme for the audience to arrive and feel comfortable in the space.A relaxed screening is where people can watch a film in a relaxed environment. They are different from regular film screenings because: - the lights are low instead of completely off, so you can still see where you're going - the volume is a little lower than a standard screening - you can move around the cinema freely as you wish during the screening - you can leave the cinema room during the screening and return without having to worry - you can make noise, stim, and enjoy yourself - there is a friendly atmosphere - there are people around if you need any help
