Walk & Talk:
Reimagining Productivity for Neurodiversity
London, 2024—2025
In Collaboration with Valentina Landin
Presented at the Neurodiversity Pride Week Conference 2025 hosted by Neurodiversity Foundation.
The Walk & Talk is an experience that reimagines productivity for neurodiverse needs, through alternative embodied and reflective practices situated in nature. In response to a growing complexity burden: burnout, disconnection, and a dominant system that prioritises productivity over people, this project centres the natural rhythms and diverse ways of being neurodivergent.
We discovered the quiet transformations that occur when neurodiverse identity and productivity are rewritten through the lens of soft natural experiences. Across London's parks, we engage in reflective dialogue, observation, and creative documentation to reveal how our community mirror themselves in these environments, proving that nature does not merely receive us; it reshapes us.
This gentle methodology offers communities a guideline for neurodiverse inclusion, positioning rest, reflection, and natural connections as valid forms of productivity that honour individual needs and rhythms. As we navigate the recklessness and layered chaos of the contemporary world, we find meaning not only in our work but in the shared rituals of being together: taking breaks or enjoying the sun. These seemingly small acts become vital threads of connection, grounding us amidst wider systems in flux, and reminding us that community and care are forms of resistance as much as they are practices of hope.
