Dear all
I look forward to meeting you
As an artist/researcher, and medical educator, hands-on enquiry is fundamental to my practice. In this session we consider the role of creative engagement in sharing stories, communicating diverse perspectives and co-creating health in research projects.
You will be invited to develop your own creative responses to issues/ideas raised - and later share with the group.
Sensory walk
Please take 30 x mins to 1x hr outdoors prior to the session - notice what you notice!
Ideally make some rough notes about what captures your attention in a notebook/ on your phone, take a few photographs/ video a few moments, make some sketches...for an informal sharing in the session.
Please also visit the website below and come to the session with an artwork to discuss

In this informal studio session, we consider the role of creative arts in communicating narratives across clinical and community healthcare, and as unique creative enquiry.
We will then focus on case-studies of patient-artists and Arts & Health community participants and reflect through hands-on arts engagement.
