Project Ability X Counterflows exhibition

Exhibition dates: 2 April, 2026 – 25 April, 2026

Counterflows is delighted to announce its continued collaboration with Project Ability, building on the success of last year’s inspiring partnership. As part of this year’s programme, artists from Project Ability’s Aspire studio have once again creatively reimagined the profile images of performers appearing in the festival. The new works offer bold, personal and visually striking interpretations that celebrate both the individuality of the musicians and the distinctive voices of the artists who have created them.

The Aspire studio supports artists with learning disabilities and autism to develop and sustain their creative practices. Through this collaboration, the artists have engaged closely with the spirit of Counterflows. The resulting portraits move beyond straightforward likeness, presenting imaginative and expressive artworks that reflect the energy, character and diversity of this year’s line-up.

The commissioned artworks will feature throughout the official Counterflows festival zine, continuing last year’s popular format, and will also be exhibited at Mono during the festival. This exhibition offers audiences an opportunity to experience the full collection of works up close, highlighting the talent of the artists and celebrating an ongoing partnership rooted in creativity, inclusion and artistic exchange.
