Grant Johnson (24, he/they), a dynamic musician and passionate advocate, serves to uplift undersupported autistic adults. Through their project "This is a Tangible Space," the media of percussion, electronics, and video are combined to articulate autistic and synesthetic perception.
Their approach to body percussion as a manifestation of stimming platforms autistic expression and experience in a fully authentic way. They are dedicated to challenging preconceptions, amplifying the often unseen autistic perspective, and fostering acceptance of autistic expression.
Grant's work represents not only a celebration of autistic contribution but also an impassioned call for empathy, dialogue, and inclusion.
