An interactive exhibition of artworks and creative media exploring post-pandemic care has returned to the Royal Alexandra Hospital – with a special event planned next week.
The Woven in Renfrewshire exhibition was previewed at the Gallery at the RAH before a tour which took in the Scottish Parliament.
The works, by artists Karen Herbison, Audrey O’Brien, t s Beall and Kayleigh McGuinness, took various forms including audio and video and there was a performance with participants from community organisation the STAR project.
Their works were inspired by conversations with carers and NHS staff.
Members of staff and visitors are invited to view the exhibition, which will be on display in the hospital’s dining room until the end of August.
Next week, a special event – which is open to all – will be held to officially launch the exhibition and to thank the health and care staff who participated.
The launch will include tea and cake, and those attending can view a short video about the exhibition, which features responses from MSPs from its visit to parliament.
It takes place between 2pm-4pm on Wednesday, July 24, at the Royal Alexandra Hospital and people are invited to drop in when they can.
The exhibition was organised by charitable social enterprise Fablevision, which supports the development of cultural planning in Scotland through creative projects.
Jackie Sands, Senior Arts and Health Improvement Lead for NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, said: “This project is an example of how the Royal Alexandra Hospital shares its space with local cultural organisations as part of NHSGGC’s Community Partnerships and Wealth Building work.
“We are delighted the exhibition has returned to the Royal Alexandra Hospital, allowing more of our staff and visitors the opportunity to experience it.”
