Creative enquiry is the exploration of lived experiences through the arts
Medical student, 2019
“Overall, I have enjoyed this SSC because I believe that I have learned more about myself in the past two weeks than I have in my twenty-one years. I have been able to open up, when I have always kept my emotions and thoughts to myself…”
Acknowledgements
I would like to thank the patients I have encountered over the years as a GP who have taught me more about being a human being than I could ever hope or imagine. Also the many students who have engaged in creative enquiry spaces and opportunities to produce moving and thought provoking work whether it be around their own lived experiences and encounters with patients. I would also like the thank the arts therapists, arts for health consultants, academics and health professionals who I have had the privilege to connect with in the creative enquiry context. My hope is that we may continue to bring out different voices and experiences together in creative exploration, learning, and transformation.
