We've been quiet for a while but here is our next event!
Crunch ET - Expanding Thinking for Neurodiversity Week.
March 29th 2026
2-6pm
The Glitch, Waterloo, London.
Tickets: £8 and include inclusion in the show if you choose.
March 29th will see us return to The Glitch for our celebration of creativity once again for Crunch: Expanding Thinking, a special event for Neurodiversity Week celebrating neurodiversity and the different ways of thinking it brings to complement our culture.
We will be open for creatives from across media to be part of our open source arts event. This will be, as always, an all inclusive event to which all are invited. Normal Crunch rules apply: we are open source and open brief and you are welcome and encouraged to participate in whichever way you choose* - all artforms are welcome. Neurodiversity is the theme but not required to participate.
We are pleased to have a great feature act in Stevie Grant @steviepoems.

Please get in touch with any and all creative ideas, any questions you may have, and come on the day to part of this festival of arts and people!
STORIES
As part of Crunch: Expanding Thinking, we are inviting contributions that reflect experiences of neurodivergence. This project is not about explanation or diagnosis, but about sharing perspective and making space for different ways of sensing, thinking, and being.
The brief, ‘experiences of neurodiversity’, is deliberately open to include those from all angles and sources. You do not need to be neurodiverse to participate.
Any media is acceptable and unusual, experimental, or hybrid approaches are encouraged. With the contributor’s permission, works will be platformed and archived via MAGAZINE and selected online channels. Contributors are also welcome to present or perform their work at Crunch events where appropriate.
Contributors retain full ownership of their work and may choose how their contribution is credited or anonymised.
MAGAZINE
We will also include a special edition of MAGAZINE themed for Neurodiversity Week. We are open for submissions and participation. Just like Crunch it is open source - for this edition we will be looking in particular for things that reflect the theme of Neurodiversity.
THE VENUE
The Glitch is a long standing partner of Crunch where we have had multiple events in the past. Their values of openness and acceptance directly chime with those of Crunch and we seek to deepen this relationship and mutual support by holding our event there.
It is central to London and easily reachable for people from the city and beyond due to its close proximity to the train station.
Get in touch if you have any questions, an idea or artwork you would like input on or any special requirements:
