Creative Health Series
This workshop is part of LU Arts’ Creative Health Series for staff and postgraduate students. Curated by Gussi Philippou, this is a year-long journey of six workshops led by artists from different creative backgrounds and will culminate in an exhibition. Over the year, we’ll explore how creative practices can boost health and wellbeing through three core themes: Flow Theory, Community and Sustainability.
