CRAFTING CARE
The crafting care workshops were designed to bring together carers, researchers and artists in 'craftivism' - a gentle form of protest linking craft with activism. Led by artist-in-residence, Michele Elliot, the carer craftivists expressed the difficulties they had faced or are facing in their experiences of dementia care. The power of making together was harnessed to provoke an evocative dialogue about the lived experience of carers.

THE HIVE
An immersive art installation displayed at the 2019 International Health Symposium in Sydney. The HIVE was an arts-based knowledge translation initiative developed collaboratively between artists, researchers, clinicians and health care consumers. Each project featured in the HIVE drew on different art forms – from textiles and sculpture, to poetry and video – highlighting the many ways that the arts can enrich conversations on health(care) and how research can be communicated using visual, performative and literary means.
