Pedagogy
Sam has delivered workshops for many schools, Universities and community settings delivering a Drawing as Stimming practice, but these workshops are often closed in order to allow participants to own their space. Instead below are talks that have event listings and recordings connected to them. The final video, the earliest on this site explains where Drawing as Stimming as a project came from and centres Crocus Fields, Nottingham engaging with the art gallery Nottingham Contemporary. Sam has included it because everything about Drawing as Stimming has come from working with people who are testing their body out, and as Amanda Baggs described, ‘in constant conversation’ with their environment.
