Jason Wilsher-Mills MBE: Jason and the Adventure of the 254
18 October – 20 December 2025
A Wellcome Collection exhibition, Jason and the Adventure of the 254 showcases the artist’s largest and most personal work to date.
Drawing on the artist’s experience of becoming disabled as a child, the exhibition is a joyful and subversive exploration of the human body. An immersive installation of sculptures, illustrations and interactive dioramas, Jason and the Adventure of the 254 uses the artist’s trademark humour to challenge the cultural and societal perceptions surrounding disability, medicine and the human body.
In 2020 Jason Wilsher-Mills was awarded the prestigious Adam Reynolds Award by SHAPE Arts. He has exhibited around the world, including the 2024 Venice Biennale and at Wellcome Collection. In 2025 his exhibition at Ferens Gallery Hull ‘Are we there Yet?’ was awarded best exhibition in 2025 at the Museum & Heritage Awards in London.
