We are thrilled to share that Prism Artist Jonathan “Jyma” Harkins is part of the nationwide project SHIFT!

SHIFT exists to give recognition to and amplify the voices and works of learning disabled and neurodivergent artists and makers across the UK. This project provides artists with a space to share their views around being creative and their experiences of the contemporary art world and how they are portrayed and treated.

Jennifer Gilbert of the Jennifer Lauren Gallery interviewed Jyma as part of their conversations series about disability rights, Christian art, how he would like to be known in the art world, and how the art elite need to widen their net.

Check out the video below to watch their video call interview in full. The full transcript of this interview is available here.

Find out more about the SHIFT project on their website.
