The Chalkboard Hand presents drawing as both a trace of an innovative, fluid creative process and an act of world-building—a means of aligning the external world with the lived experiences of artists whose perspectives often challenge neurotypical norms. It captures the essence of drawing as a performative act, one that re-orders the world through movement, memory, and mark-making to align with the artist's lived experience.

Featuring seven Māpura Studios artists with divergent and performative drawing practices, this exhibition expands the boundaries of social memory, world-building, and the interplay between cultural consumption, reading, and writing.

With this exhibition, audiences are invited to consider otherness not as a limitation but as a powerful, generative space for creativity and transformation.
