I have had the enormous pleasure of working with Vic McEwan this last 2 weeks with patients and colleagues at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital where Vic is undertaking a major project around sound in a 21st century health environment. Vic also shared his work alongside Dr Toby Heys who left me throbbing after his wonderful sub-sonic sounds! Thank you both and I am looking forward to sharing this work with you as it unfolds between now and next March.
The Chamber of Arts and Culture WA and the WA Arts and Health Consortium last week, released its report into arts activity in WA hospitals. To read the full report, click on the image of Purnalulu above.
with Christine Douglass
Presentation & discussion led by film maker/scientist Christine Douglass about her collaborative research involving women experiencing breast cancer.
14th July 2016
14.00 to 16.00
Manchester School of Art
In visual explorations of the lives of those diagnosed with breast cancer, extreme vulnerability, the irreducibility of experience, and multiple co-existing experiential truths challenge the limits of representation and exhibition, raising many ethical questions. Christine Douglass’s praxis is based on the belief that working with individuals experiencing illness demands a respectful, collaborative research relationship. She will describe how and why she transitioned from scientist to filmmaker and what collaboration means in the context of her work, focussing on the ethics of how filmmakers, artists & researchers enter into other people’s lives and represent their feelings and experiences. Find out more about Christine's work by clicking on the image by T. Burke below.
