Autism Drawn– exhibition of drawings by Karolina “Szarosen” Plewińska | The Art of Sensitivity

About the event

We cordially invite you to attend the exhibition “Autism Drawn”, which features satirical drawings published online between 2017 and 2019. This is the work of Karolina “Szarosen” Plewińska, a graphic designer with autism. In her art, she tries to show the absurdities of everyday life for adults with autism. Her message focuses directly on our society’s erroneous thinking and harmful stereotypes. All the situations she depicts are real, even though the drawings are distorted and exaggerated. This event is a great opportunity to see drawings by the artist all in one place.   A meeting with the artist will also be held at the exhibition’s closing event on 31 March at 17.00.
