A Curated Collection of Curiosities - presentation on Autistic experiences of Menopause, based on a performance art installation I created for #FlushFest Menopause Festival 2023: FlushFest_presentation_Rose_recorded_version.pptx
Going with the Flow: A reflection on the transformational power of creative research methods in co-produced autism research. (International Creative Research Methods Conference 2024).
'Bridging the Silos' Autistic Menopause Study creative submissions installation at MacOdrum Library, created by colleagues at Carleton University Canada, incorporating art work I made for my reflective journal.
Illustration for the 4m zine: "This art work is an overview of our 3-phase international study of #Autistic menopause: ‘Bridging the Silos’. It encapsulates themes from phase one: A perfect storm, Complexity, multiplicity and intensity of symptoms, and insights from phase two: ‘Stepping into who I fully am: A creative exploration of Autistic menopause’ (currently under review). Our theme ‘a perfect storm’ is contained in a circle which forms part of a stylised snow globe, representing the isolation of Autistic menopause. A single fingerprint rests in the centre, symbolising my detention by the police after a catastrophic meltdown, two years before my very late autism diagnosis aged 58. There are spiky intersected pieces in this illustration, with the jaggedness suggesting pain experienced during perimenopause and sharpness in relationships with others."
Making an exhibition of myself! Wearing the research findings from phase one of the Autistic Menopause Study.
Illustration providing feedback on my experience of helping to co-produce the COAST study (development of training for social workers on best practice in working with older Autistic people).
Had such a great time as a panellist at the Equity in Menopause Festival. Here I am unwinding afterwards!
