Driven by the lived experience of substance use and recovery, the Recoverist Curators project is an activist-based process, developing inclusive ways for working with people and communities in recovery. The Recoverist Curators: Re-imagining the World We Live In exhibition has led to the development of new knowledge and increased cultural confidence for successful creative Recoverist engagement.

Portraits of Recovery is a Manchester-based visual arts charity supporting people who identify as being in recovery from substance use.
