How a disabled artist creates new worlds: Jason and the Adventure of 254 #shorts

Who decides what ‘disabled’ means?

Artist Jason Wilsher-Mills’ work draws on the social model of disability - the idea that society disables us by not accommodating for our different needs.

His free exhibition, open now at Wellcome Collection, shows us a world where the only limits are those of our imagination.

Alt text: A video showing Jason exploring his exhibition and looking at some of the colourful, surreal installations that he designed for the space.
