"Mark making is a way to communicate with others but also with ourselves. It is the creation of a language that shares our thoughts, ideas and wonderings. It is an invitation to enter into a conversation with others – an inter-action. Mark making is about offering a piece of ourselves, an expression of an idea that can only be fully known when it is made sense of with others." Rebekah Palmer, Exhibition Curator

In honor of SCN8A angel Layla's 2nd birthday, the SCN8A community is invited to participate in a special exhibition, Layla: The Festival of Mark Making II. This one-of-a-kind gallery of works created by members of the SCN8A community will be held in Sydney, Australia in September 2024, and available to view virtually at layla-voice.com.

The goal of this exhibition is to share the unheard voice of the entire SCN8A community. Every individual has their own unique means of communication, but we can all express ourselves through mark making. We hope that all who view the exhibition will come away with a better connection to the SCN8A community after experiencing their thoughts, hopes, fears, and dreams demonstrated through marks.

We invite you to join this unique global movement by making a financial contribution to our Festival of Mark Making Campaign. Your donation will help us share the voices of the SCN8A community by supporting the costs of hosting the exhibition and spreading awareness. We appreciate your support as work towards a more inclusive and understanding world!

Sponsorship opportunities are also available. For more information about sponsoring the 2024 Exhibition in Sydney, Australia, contact Danielle Hayward at danielle@thecutesyndrome.com.
