About this show
BENCHES is a free, immersive exhibition celebrating neurodivergent creativity through the lens of autistic amateur photographer Tim Hart. Featuring over 1,000 photographs with audio commentary, alongside a short art film, personal artefacts and interactive materials, the exhibition reveals beauty, humour and fascination in the overlooked details of daily life. Through benches, post boxes, phone boxes and other familiar features of the British landscape, BENCHES invites you into Tim’s world of experiencing shared public spaces in diverse ways.
