of Healing
Part 1
2019
Funded by Arts Council Wales, CAVU Health Board and ArcadeCampfa, BHoH Part 1 ran from July - September 2019.
Based at Llandough Hospital adult pschiatric unit where GH was previously an inpatient, and using a repurposed medication trolley as a mobile printing press, prescription dispensary and basket weaving station, the project centred around conversations about institutionalised care and the therapeutic environment. Inpatients , staff and visitors were invited to engage in conversation about their experiences and thoughts around the notion of care , and to make prints, weave baskets and write alternative, utopian prescriptions.
