Join Olivier Jamin on a BSL Tour of Jason and the Adventure of 254 a major solo exhibition by Jason Wilsher-Mills.

Showcasing Jason’s largest and most personal commission to date, this exhibition is a joyful and subversive exploration of the body, drawing on the artist’s experience of becoming disabled as a child.

Reimagining the gallery space as a hospital ward, Wilsher-Mills’ immersive installation of sculptures, illustrations and interactive dioramas challenges the cultural and societal perceptions surrounding disability, medicine and the human body.

Through a kaleidoscope of colours and a touch of magic realism, the exhibition is also a celebration of family, his working-class background and the opportunities he received through hospital education, inviting audiences to explore childhood memories and creativity through the artist’s trademark humour.

Olivier Jamin will be leading the tour in British Sign Language (BSL) capturing the curator’s insight into the exhibitions for the participants. There will be a BSL interpreter who will provide voice-over translation from Olivier’s BSL into spoken English.

This friendly tour is free and everyone is welcome.
