Public Art, Care, and Connection: Panel Discussion

Join artists Amalia Pica, Ivan Morison, Jo Hummel and Mark Titchner, in conversation with Rosie Cooper (Director, Wysing Arts Centre), for a panel discussion exploring the role of the artist in shaping hospital environments for patients and staff.

Together, they will explore how artists, clinicians and communities can collaborate to create healthcare environments that inspire creativity, promote wellbeing and humanise healthcare. The discussion will consider the unique opportunities and challenges of creating art for clinical settings, the importance of co-production with patients and staff, and the ways in which public art can contribute to healing, identity and a sense of place within hospitals.

As Signature Artist for Cambridge Children’s Hospital, Amalia Pica will share her vision for creating playful, imaginative work that brings a sense of wonder to the hospital environment. Ivan Morison and Jo Hummel will reflect on the distinct commissions they are developing for the Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital, each offering different approaches to material, place and the experience of moving through the building. Mark Titchner will share his experience of creating work for healthcare settings, alongside his recently unveiled commission at Cambridge South station.

Followed by a networking reception.
