10am -4pm
Friday April 24th
Trapdoor Theatre, UCD

Artists: Lorna Donlon, Siobhan Clancy, Emma Finucane, Yvonne Cullivan & Manuala Corbari, John Conway

 

Join six artists together with healthcare practitioners and health researchers to explore what the unique qualities of art and creative research practice bring to health contexts.

We will look at how contemporary art practices can operate within healthcare, health research, clinical and community contexts and what it takes from both sectors to create great spaces for communication, care and meaningful connection.

Exploring methodologies rooted in attentiveness, duration and ethical engagement, we will examine the role of the artist as researcher, collaborator, witness, and facilitator in clinical and community environments.
Through creative presentations interspersed with conversation we hope to raise awareness of the rich work currently emerging in Irish health research and care, what it takes to support meaningful partnerships between the art and health sectors and to inspire new ways of bringing creative practices in clinical and research environments into play.

The event is proudly supported by the UCD Parity Studios ARISE project in collaboration with UCD and NCAD Creative Futures Academy and UCD School of Nursing.
