Who can think, what can think

Who can think, what can think is a group exhibition that confronts understandings of human and non-human ‘intelligence’.
Exhibited works address various global contexts from an octopus rescued from a fish market in France to definitions of disability in Mexico, and from neurodiversity advocates in Scotland to the transnational weaponisation of AI.
The exhibition includes interpretation in audio, braille, easy read, NZSL and te reo Māori, and provides reading aids, accessibility and sensory maps, a quiet space, and relaxed events.

Accessibility
Audio-described Events
Audio description is a narration service provided at no additional charge to the patron that describes what the sighted person takes for granted - those images that a person who is blind or visually impaired formerly could only experience through the whispered asides from a sighted companion. Patrons are issued with headsets and sit in the auditorium with the headphone in one ear, listening to the description alongside the show. Events also include an audio-described exhibition tour.
Braille
Content available in braille (on request)
NZSL Interpreted Events
The Festival is delighted to present a number of events this year which will have NZSL interpreted performances. Trained interpreters, situated on the left or right-hand side of the stage, will interpret the script during the performance using NZSL. There are seats reserved for these unique performances for Deaf audience members that give a clear view of the stage and the interpreters.
Relaxed Performance
A Relaxed Performance is a special performance of a show designed to welcome those who will benefit from a more relaxed performance environment, including people with an Autism Spectrum Condition, sensory and communication disorders or a learning difficulty. This means that there will be a relaxed attitude to noise and movement during the performance. Some small changes are made to the light and sound effects and sometimes show content. There will also be a chill-out area available in the venue for patrons to go to during the show if needed. Patrons made to feel secure. A visual story on what to expect at the venue is supplied to patrons prior to the event.
