My Two Brains; Jason Scott Tilley.
ARC has received national media coverage for a major project supported by Arts Council England and partners, including features on BBC Newsnight and local BBC radio.
ARC’s mission is to challenge the narrative around disabled and neurodivergent artists by supporting their recognition within the art world, breaking down barriers, and creating new opportunities.
The project, My Two Brains by Jason Scott Tilley, brought together ten artists from the Coventry-based organisation Art Riot Collective (ARC) to respond creatively to his photographic archive.
Paintings, prints, and poetry developed through the project were exhibited at a contemporary studio dedicated to supporting neurodivergent and disabled artists. The work explores Tilley’s archive as a photographer diagnosed with early-onset dementia, with access and care shaping the project’s approach. The artists’ responses offer new perspectives on memory, authorship, and lived experience.
