UCLH quote:

"The Healthcare Arts Collective and UCLH Arts and Heritage are launching an exhibition on Health and the Climate and Ecological Emergency.

The exhibition is viewable at the UCH Street Gallery for hospital patients and staff only and on the virtual platform Smartify.

Our way of life, including the provision of healthcare, is harming the planetary life support systems that we rely on. Radical change is needed. We will increasingly need to adapt to managing physical and mental illnesses caused by ecological degradation while also reducing our environmental footprint and trying to prevent any further damage. Does this challenge provide an opportunity to tackle inequalities and build healthier, more resilient communities? Can we address the issues of intergenerational and global injustice that are raised by current levels of consumerism and use of resources? What vision of the future do we hold? Can we find ways of living which protect both the planet and our health?

Our response to this crisis may vary: from measured expressions of hope through to feelings of despair. Art is one way of articulating and processing these feelings and of sharing envisaged solutions." To read more click here.
