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.

If we understood that each grain of soil, each stone, each fluttering wing of a butterfly is only here on earth due to billions of years of cosmic and planetary processes, might we think and act differently?

Gathering reflections from astronomers, biologists and geologists, artist Louise Beer uses letter writing, installation, photography, sound and conversation to connect people emotionally to Earth’s history and climate crisis.

At the heart of her work is engaging with the public to make complex scientific and environmental ideas accessible, and to show their relevance to our lives. She works to invite the viewers of her work to experience a care connection to the environment, helping audiences feel deeply linked to the universe, and Earth’s deep-time history and future.
