From Monday 5^th to Friday 9^th January, Tom Shakespeare broadcast a series of essays on Radio 3 in which he challenged stereotypical ideas about creativity and disability. Through the course of the week, he celebrated a number of artists, including painters Bryan Pearce (who has phenylketonuria) and Lucy Jones (who was born with cerebral palsy), and explored how their ‘impairments’ fuel their genius.
