London’s Creative Health City: Building it together

London’s Creative Health Sector met on the 27th November 2023 at Battersea Arts Centre and also online via Zoom. 

"Culture has a significant impact on people’s physical and mental health and wellbeing. Through a multitude of organisations, practitioners, artists, creative health workers, social prescribers, allied health professionals, ICS systems and more we 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 was asked to illustrate a meeting for those interested in the intersections of health and culture who come together to take part in a day of exchange and reflection, boundary pushing and action planning.

This was following three live illustrated internal sessions with community partners to help design the bones of the new initiative.
