The "True Vision" exhibition opened at the Center for Contemporary Culture of UrFU (51 Lenin Ave.). The exhibition presents graphic and vivid works of five young artists with autism and similar mental features. It is possible to observe the works until May 17.

"The authors carefully study the urban space with a pencil or marker, turning it into a fragile and transparent lace of lines, convey with paints visual and gustatory sensations of the visible world, faithfully recreate images of people and wonderful animals, as if they came from fairy-tale dreams, experimenting with styles and plots," says the organizer of the exhibition Tamara Galeeva, Head of the Laboratory of Artistic Practices and Museum Technologies of UrFU. 

It should be noted that the "True Vision" project has supported and promoted special artists since 2020. A new exhibition of original works, most of which have never been exhibited before, is presented at UrFU. The employees of the "Social Innovation Laboratory" took part in the organization of the exhibition this year.

"Special artists are people who see the world from a different angle. They look at it with different eyes and distinguish details and shades which are inaccessible to us. They paint sounds and hear colors. They can transfer a song onto a canvas and frame the wind. It is creativity that helps to preserve the fragile stability of their world. They are very different, but each of them is undoubtedly talented," the project organizers explain.
