We all carry things that feel… a little tangled. Thoughts we can’t quite resolve. Feelings we don’t fully understand.
Most of the time, we try to work them out in our heads. But what happens when we let the hand lead instead?
About this project
This is a short documentary film (5–15 minutes) exploring the experience of NeuroGraphica — through the eyes, hands, and reflections of people encountering it for the first time.
Rather than explaining the method, the film invites you to witness what happens when people begin to draw their inner world into coherence.
The main footage will be captured during a live workshop for complete beginners, held in a Brighton café (venue to be confirmed) currently exhibiting Margarita’s NeuroGraphica artwork.
A glimpse of the process
The live in-person workshop will introduce those taking part to the core process of NeuroGraphica.
Alongside the workshop, the film will include:
- short reflections from participants
- glimpses into Margarita’s drawing practice
- moments that reveal the subtle, often unexpected nature of the work

Why this film?
NeuroGraphica is not just something to understand — it is something to experience.
This film is an invitation:
to pause, to notice, and perhaps to recognise something of yourself in the process.
Take part in the workshop
As part of this project, we’ll be hosting a small, in-person NeuroGraphica workshop for complete beginners in Brighton.
This session will form the main footage for the film.
If you’re curious to experience NeuroGraphica for yourself — and are open to being filmed as part of the process — you’re warmly invited to express your interest.
No drawing experience is needed.
The emphasis will be on creating a relaxed, real environment where you can explore the process at your own pace.
Follow the journey
This project is currently in development.
If you’d like to take part in the workshop, or get involved in the project in another way, you’re very welcome to get in touch with Margarita.
If you’d like to follow along as the project unfolds — or be among the first to see the finished film — you’re warmly invited to stay connected.
