8th European Congress of Qualitative Inquiry

Description

Surface Echoes is a Wellcome ScotPen funded creative research project which aims to raise up the voices of people living with eczema, so their experiences can be more empathetically understood. The project uses text collaged scripts, collective reading, and audio to create a resource for training in healthcare, education and workplace settings, and wider public audiences.

Originally drawing on qualitative verbatim comments from patients, carers and health professionals from articles published in dermatology research journals, this work also embraces participants’ stories to give a glimpse into life with the itchy, inflammatory skin condition eczema.

This panel provides delegates with an opportunity to

Understand the crafting of a creative resource developed with project partners and collaborating artists
Experience working through the creative resource, reading aloud together
Engage in rich discussion about creative methods and the impact of collaged script
It may be of particular interest to those working in art-based health research, medical humanities, zine and dramaturgy. We also recognise that many delegates will have personal experience of eczema or caring for someone with the condition.
