Arts Sunday The Line Up!
9TH JUNE ACOUSTIC STAGE
ARTS IN HEALTH: LIVING POSITIVE While it is tough to establish a cause and effect relationship between culture and welbeing, recent studies are starting to reveal the potential benifits of the arts to our health - and although the science isn’t ironclad just yet, the benifits of Arts in Health are still solid and justifiable. Arts activities within health can be used to enhance wellbeing for patients, to releave stress, to communicate difficult feelings and emotions, to strengthen communities by raising awareness about health issues and they can increase social inclusion for those who feel isolated because of their illness. Arts in Health is a broad area of work, and can be as simple as having pictures on the wall of a hospital to alliviate the stress of waiting for an operation. Another example of Arts in Health is where engagement occurs between patients and arts practitioners; an artist might hold workshops for people to relax and express their feelings through drawing, painting or sculpture. LIVING POSITIVE The current exhibition at the greenhouse gallery is entitled ‘Living Positive’. The images come from an Arts in Health project originating in Manchester. Artist, Lottie Barnes, facilitated a series of photographic workshops where people living with or affected by HIV were given disposible cameras. Lottie helped the participents turn their thoughts and emotions into images over the course of three months. After a year of ongoing research, the images were displayed in over 70 venues around Manchester, from coffee shop windows to giant electronic billboards. Now the exhibition has come to Guernsey and includes two stories of people living with HIV on the island. Not only does this exhibition demonstrate a high level of creative photography, but is also informative. Walking through the greenhouse, you not only learn about the lives of those who took these photographs, but also about how this project impacted their life and the way they have reflected on their life because of it. Living Positive is on now at the greenhouse gallery (located in the Guernsey Tourist Information Centre).
Opening hours are:
