Fabulous Fringes: A Short Film by Alex Kronstein

 I don’t know if you have had the opportunity to check out the work of Alex Kronstein, the ever-wonderful curator, creator, and host of the The NeurodiveCast.   Alex’s podcasts offer an alternative way to access information from a wide range of blogs related to Neurodiversity organized on a particular topic/theme.

Alex has created this beautiful short film based upon the poem Fabulous Fringes.

It is spectacular and I am so very honoured!!

 

This poem was written in response to being described as a radical fringe element… Bring it!!

Fabulous Fringes

I love the edges of things
places of intersectionality
where ideas meet
thinking is broadened
perspectives are shared

there is beauty in the edges
the fabulous fringes
that decorate our interactions
and build understanding
