Shows celebrate disabled and neurodivergent artists

Paintings, prints and poetry have gone on display at a contemporary art studio set up to support neurodivergent and disabled artists. The work, exploring the archive of a photographer diagnosed with dementia, has been produced by 10 artists at Coventry organisation Art Riot Collective (ARC). In 2020 Jason Tilley suffered a series of mini strokes, affecting his short-term memory and resulting in the diagnosis. Arts Council England (ACE) funding has allowed the 55-year-old to work with the artists to explore his archive in order to help prompt old memories and help build new ones.
