Project Ability is delighted to announce its continued collaboration with Counterflows Festival for 2026, 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 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, responding to the festival’s boundary-pushing and experimental ethos. 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.
