SUMMARY:No You’re Not\, Yes I Am: A Portrait of Autistic Women - SET Lewisham Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:No You’re Not\, Yes I Am is a photography project by documentary photographer Rosie Barnes\, developed over six years between 2018 and 2024. The exhibition brings together portraits and extended interviews with autistic women from different communities. \n\n\n\nMany of the participants describe themselves as high-masking autistic women who were diagnosed later in life. Their stories reflect the long path many women take before receiving a diagnosis\, and the ways autism can be misunderstood or overlooked. \n\n\n\nEach portrait is shown alongside the participant’s own words\, reflecting on diagnosis\, identity and everyday life. The testimonies speak about navigating a world that often misunderstands autistic women and girls. \n\n\n\nTogether\, the portraits and interviews offer a closer look at these experiences and invite visitors to reflect on how autism is recognised and understood. \n\n\n\nAlongside the exhibition\, a panel discussion on Thursday 26 March will bring together contributors and specialists to explore the themes raised by the project and discuss how society can better support autistic women and girls. \n\n\n\nResidents\, families and community groups are invited to visit the exhibition and engage with the stories on display. \n\n\n\n\nExhibition details\n\n\n\n\nPublic opening event: Monday 23 March\, 6-8pmExhibition run dates: Open daily between 24-28 March\, 2-6pmPanel discussion: Thursday 26 March\, 6-8pmLocation: Unit 1\, Lewisham Retail Park\, Lewisham\, London\, SE13 7RZAdmission: Free; no booking required for exhibition.

Her work has appeared in The Guardian Weekend\, the Financial Times and projects with the Wellcome Collection. \n\n\n\nShe is widely recognised for her work exploring autism. Her book Understanding Stanley was widely reviewed and exhibited across Europe\, while the portrait series No You’re Not\, Yes I Am was funded by the Wellcome Collection\, with two portraits selected for the Taylor Wessing National Portrait Prize. \n\n\n\nBarnes lives in London and her practice is informed by her own experience of neurodivergence. \n\n\n\nPartners and support\n\n\n\nThe exhibition is presented with support from Drumbeat Outreach and marks the beginning of Autism Awareness Month in Lewisham. \n\n\n\nIt is supported by Lewisham Council Public Health as part of the Lewisham All Age Autism Strategy\, and contributes to the Partnership for Inclusion of Neurodiversity in Schools (PINS) programme.
