Antifragile is a peer-driven, mental-health centric movement focused on building community, connection and empowerment.Through art we provide a safe space to express ourselves, our experiences, challenge biases, and discuss mental health stereotypes, using our unique peer driven peer support approach to empower you to take control of your story.By prioritising your experience of your neurodivergence, we work to provide accessible, inclusive spaces for community wide conversations in yearly exhibitions. Enriching the public knowledge of the realities of lives shaped by complex, long term mental illness by using our art as the communication method.

Through knowledge, empathy and passion, the greatest of positive change is possible.

Antifragile works to achieve this through leading by example in promoting neurodiverse accessibility in all avenues of life- By inverting mainstream neurotypical power structures, prioritising respecting people's capacity by adjusting typical expectations, and supporting our community to contribute in ways that let their brilliance shine.Due to the nature of our peer driven focus, we're always aiming to improve our inclusivity and accessibility for anyone living with mental health challenges.If you would like to help us build a world where people living with mental health related disabilities can be accepted, succeed and prosper; Please attend an Antifragile workshop, check out our socials or contact us.
