About The Sum of Your Parts
Our Mission
We exist to help people convert their suffering into joy. We believe the prime function of art is to take the raw ingredients of pain and transform them into delight, thrill, awe, wonder, ecstasy, contentment. And that there is no distinction between art and life.
What We Do
Make art. Make mischief. Learn. Play. Seek ways to connect people. Hunt shame and fear and kill them both with courage and transparency. and by not merely accepting but embracing our whole selves. This includes our wounds, our history, and our deepest dreams and desires.
About Neurodiversity
The natural world is inherently diverse, so it is no surprise that the human population is neurodiverse. Labeling neurodiverse individuals as having "disorders" imposes a stigma that presents an obstacle to such individuals finding communities of people more similar to themselves than the general population and deprives everyone of the benefits of the unique gifts that many of us possess.
