From our visitors
Explore Recoverist Curators: Re-imagining the World We Live In with curators Paul and Dominic Pillai. Each of our Recoverist Curators tours gives a unique personal overview of the exhibition through the eyes of one (or two!) of six curators.
Paul’s recovery journey has informed his role as a Recoverist Curator, bringing his lived experience directly to his curatorial choices.
As a collaborator on projects such as Let’s Talk About Chemsex, Paul’s insights are as someone deeply connected to the stories on display.
Driven by the lived experience of substance use and recovery, the Recoverist Curators project is an activist-based process, developing inclusive ways for working with people and communities in recovery.
The Recoverist Curators: Re-imagining the World We Live In exhibition has led to the development of new knowledge and increased cultural confidence for successful creative Recoverist engagement.
An event for Portraits of Recovery’s DRY26, a brand-new arts programme that enriches the Dry January experience through the power of arts and culture.
