Bel Pye is a multi talented artist working in Project Ability’s ReConnect studios.
Bel is interested in the everyday art we make to survive hostile times. They try to respond to injustice through small acts of accessible protest. Bel’s practice is fatigue informed and grounded in the queer, mad and chronically ill communities they live in.
“Having trained at drama school I am now an aspiring play write and visual artist. A lot of my visual art aims to respond to injustice through small acts of accessible protest. In my theatre work I try to centre the stories of people who are often marginalised. I enjoy writing comedy because – frankly – in hostile times we all need a good laugh. All my work tries to be fatigue informed and grounded in the queer, mad and chronically ill communities I live in.”
In 2024 Bel had a solo exhibition in the Project Ability gallery, a soft place to land, during SMHAF.
Bel has exhibited with Outside In and the Travelling Gallery, among many other institutions and galleries. Read more about Bel on their website.
