Can London be a creative health capital city?

  • Summary

  • On the 27th November, London Arts and Health invited everyone interested in the intersections of health and culture to come together for a day of exchange, reflection, boundary pushing and action planning. Together, we imagined London as a creative health capital city, laying the building blocks to see it become reality. Creative and health organisations and practitioners all see health and culture working together to address health needs across the UK’s capital city, however, for too many Londoners these activities are out of reach.I spent the day asking people what creative health means to them, what they think about London as creative health city, how to make it a reality and what difference it would make to their work. The conversations highlight the opportunities and challenges and offer perspectives from people working on the ground with communities, across many forms of creativity.The event was an initiative developed and funded by the Mayor of London and Arts Council England, delivered in partnership with London Arts and Health.If you’d like to make a podcast or audio story about your work, your organisation, for an event, project, exhibition, or installation, please get in touch.Interviewees in order:Anna Woolf London Arts and HealthJide Ashimi Raw Material Music & Media, SLaMShadé Joseph Writerz & ScribezLydia Rose Freelance ArtistMarley Starsky Butler Freelance, New Town Culture, Hospital RoomsMah Rana, Artist & AcademicDr. Paul Gilluley NHS North East LondonLaura Godfrey Isaacs Artist & Midwife, Maternal JournalJoanna Latimer London Arts and HealthTarek Iskander Battersea Arts CentreLewis Pickles & Elise Harbord The Road ZineLwandile Nkosi & Donald Boujar Queen Mary University of LondonMarlo Savin & Kirsty Collander-Brown The Albany & Sounds Like ChaosElizabeth Lynch CADARichard Ings Arts Council England Hosted on Acast.
