Aiming to help normalize the rarely explored topic of girls growing up on the autism spectrum, Baxter St presents Galoot, an immersive film and exhibition experience by National YoungArts Foundation (YoungArts) alumna Devon Leaver (2011 Winner in Film).

About

In Galoot, Leaver centers her childhood experiences with Autism Spectrum Disorder or ASD, to provide viewers with a more profound understanding that neurodiversity can be both a challenge and a strength. The exhibition blurs the lines between film and exhibition, breaking the fourth wall to enhance empathy between neurotypical and neurodiverse individuals alike. Galoot represents two distinct firsts for Leaver, her proud and public claim of being part of the ASD community and her New York debut. Galoot is the culmination of Leaver’s participation in YoungArts | Baxter St Residency Program, a multi-year partnership between the two organizations to support, mentor, and diversify the next generation of lens-based artists. It will be on view from March 24 to April 28 at Baxter’s St gallery located at 126 Baxter St.
