Manifesto
Ciphertext Studio is a collective comprised of Manchester School of Art graduates Lucianne Canavan and Lilly Frances Beards. We apply design thinking and process to a fine art context, creating space for neurodiverse women within fibre art. Through this, we are able to raise awareness around emotional expression in order to create connections and spaces for vulnerability.
