We are developing a programme of on-line exhibitions based on current healthcare issues/interests. These bespoke collections will include artworks from the current archive, call-out submissions plus externally-sourced creative contributions.

We look forward to hosting inter-disciplinary debate and sharing clinical and community resources through on-line forums.

CURRENT EXHIBITION :
‘CLOUDS’ : Now in a time when covid-19 becomes endemic, with no legal requirement to self-isolate, the CLOUDS installation and online presence provides a perfect opportunity to bring people together from healthcare, student communities and the general public, to share and co-develop perspectives around well-being.

UoB Medical students Yvonne, Rosemary, Sophie along with Oinehart, a Music & Sound student, co-developed this installation. The multi-media immersion aims to raise awareness of the importance of self-care, resilience and highlight the role of the Arts in positive embodiment whilst facing the challenging and distressing periods in life. Arts and Health consultants also supported this enterprise.

Upcoming Exhibition: Turning the Tide 
In October 2024 we will be showcasing Turning the Tide – exploring water’s role in sustaining health for global and community futures – a multimedia enquiry and collaboration between arts and science, evidence and practice, medicine and ecology. This exhibition was part of a programme for the SAPC Annual Conference hosted by Bristol Medical School this summer. The upcoming, extended, online curation provides a collaborative, international forum and an arts-based resource around Blue Health.

Un/Stuck: Creative Explorations of Negative Thinking – a collaboration led by University of Bristol School of Psychological Science, with OTR (a Bristol-based young people’s mental health charity) and the McPin Foundation (a national organization working to transform mental health research). This project fore-fronts young people as co-researchers ‘giving voice’ to their experiences of living alongside negative thinking through creative methods and materials.
