Visualising relationships between the arts and health (2025)

'Visualising Relationships Between the Arts and Health' explores how artistic practices intersect with health, wellbeing, and care through visual documentation and creative inquiry. Using photography as both method and medium, the work brings together artists, communities, and health contexts to illuminate the social, emotional, and environmental dimensions of health that are often overlooked by conventional clinical or quantitative approaches. The images and accompanying reflections foreground lived experience, collaboration, and place, demonstrating how the arts can foster connection, visibility, and dialogue across diverse health settings. By presenting visual narratives from international contexts, the project highlights the capacity of artistic engagement to support wellbeing, challenge dominant representations of health, and contribute to interdisciplinary understanding between the arts, medicine, and public health. Ultimately, the work argues for the value of visual and creative methodologies in expanding how health is understood, communicated, and practised.
