About this listen
Chris Hunt Skelley MBE PLY embodies resilience, determination and the power of adapting to life’s challenges. From being diagnosed with ocular albinism at 19 to becoming a Paralympic Champion, his journey inspires audiences worldwide. As a Tokyo 2020 Gold Medallist, Paris 2024 Bronze Medallist and former World No.1 Judoka, Chris demonstrates how challenges can become stepping stones to extraordinary achievement. His recognition with an MBE for services to the community from King Charles underscores his impact both on and off the mat.
Chris’s reflections on Seen
“I chose Gracie Swindon BJJ, Self Defence and Martial Arts Centre for the location of my portrait because the venue is a mat. The judo and Brazilian jiu jitsu mat is my escapism, it’s my time to tune out the world. When I’m struggling with my mental health or my sight loss, going to the mat is a relief and centres me. It’s my safe space. It’s where I feel whole.
I hope visitors leave with a deeper understanding of the lives of blind and partially sighted people, and how these portraits capture the joyful, multifaceted lives we lead.”
