Undoing Disorder, a CIHR-funded project facilitated by artist-researcher Jen Sebring, insists on the necessity of reimagining past and present understandings of Functional Neurological Disorder (FND). Through artistic practice, individuals with FND highlight the multiple, sometimes contradictory, and incredibly complex ways they navigate and make sense of their experiences amid dehumanizing medical encounters, public stigma, and ongoing uncertainty. 

This website showcases their creative work to spur reflection and transformation. Each participating artist approached their work with a specific experience they wanted to capture, a question to explore, or a message and audience they wanted to reach. Undoing Disorder compels us to consider what possibilities for living emerge when we look beyond narrow ideas about disability and disorder and foreground the lived experiences, knowledge, resourcefulness, and creativity of people with FND.
