PHRC was pleased to host Dr. Ranjita Dhital (Vice Dean, Wellbeing, and Associate Professor in Interdisciplinary Health Studies, University College London(UCL), UK), Dr. Sara Adhitya (Arts & Sciences Programme Director and Senior Research Fellow, UCL, UK), and Mr. Hitesh Vaidya (Visual Artist and Co-founder of Niva Artspace, Nepal).

The team engaged in a half-day session on understanding how art can be used in health research. The session introduced participatory creative methods and shared an overview of Project PEARL. This was carried out along with practicing turning ideas and findings into art that can engage a wider audience. We also discussed PHRC’s role in generating evidence and sharing it through art.

The day felt especially meaningful as it fell on Guru Purnima. Alongside our learning, we took a moment to celebrate this auspicious occasion together with our mentors 🙏🙏
