On the cusp of emotional collapse in 2015, Nwando Ebizie discovered that she had a rare neurological disorder called ‘visual snow’. Since then, she has been exploring the neuroscience of perception, collaborating with neuroscientists and artists on the idea that all our realities are broken. Sharing findings from research undertaken as part of her Artsadmin Artist Bursary, Nwando invited her audience  to consider that our weird perceptual distortions are, in fact, a superpower.

She presented the lecture as part ‘performance’ through her pop-persona Lady Vendredi, alongside fellow guest speakers Dr Edward Bracey and Jonathan Grieve.
