    Justin Piccirilli is a London-based artist weaving a tapestry of narratives that delve deep into the human experience. His artistic journey is not just about aesthetics; it’s an exploration of societal issues, particularly those concerning disability, inequality, and mental health.

    Piccirilli’s artistic arsenal is diverse, spanning across various media. From installation and VR to video and performance, he fearlessly traverses different avenues to convey his message. His work transcends mere visual appeal; it serves as a catalyst for dialogue, challenging viewers to confront uncomfortable truths lurking beneath the surface of society.

    At the heart of Piccirilli’s practice lies a commitment to the disability arts movement and neurodiverse perspectives. Through his art, he amplifies the voices of those often marginalized by society, shedding light on their struggles and triumphs. His social arts practice is not just about representation; it’s about empowerment and advocacy, driving meaningful change through creative expression.

    One of Piccirilli’s works is “De_Motion Sickness,” an interactive narrative crafted in virtual reality. This immersive experience aims to spark discourse surrounding the UK’s Work Capability Assessment (WCA), a system designed to evaluate the eligibility of disabled welfare claimants for work. Drawing from personal experience, Piccirilli flips the concept of ludonarrative dissonance on its head, using game mechanics to shed light on socio-political injustices.

    Through “De_Motion Sickness,” players are invited to navigate the complexities of the WCA, experiencing firsthand the challenges faced by disabled individuals within the welfare system. By merging art with technology, Piccirilli creates a platform for empathy and understanding, bridging the gap between the virtual world and real-life struggles.

    Piccirilli’s artistic journey has been shaped by his academic pursuits, including a Master of Arts with distinction in Contemporary Art Practice from the prestigious Royal College of Art. His talent and dedication have earned him opportunities to exhibit, speak, and perform at renowned institutions such as the ICA, Tate Modern, and Guest Projects.

    However, for Piccirilli, success isn’t measured solely by accolades or exhibition opportunities. It’s about the impact his art has on society, the conversations it sparks, and the lives it touches. Each piece is a testament to his unwavering commitment to social justice and human dignity.

    At its core, Piccirilli’s work challenges us to confront the uncomfortable realities of our world. It prompts us to question existing power structures, challenge stigmas, and advocate for a more inclusive and equitable society. Through his interdisciplinary approach and unyielding passion, Justin Piccirilli continues to carve out a space where art becomes a powerful instrument for change, igniting hope and inspiring transformation.
