"Very Nice Lady" Reclaiming our narrative of illness workshop with London Arts & Health

Tuesday, 1st April · 12 - 1:30pm
 
The London Arts and Health Creative Health Sandpit is an informal space which exemplifies brilliant practice from the sector and allows members to learn, engage and explore in a structured yet open way. This Sandpit with artist Lucy Chapman explores Lucy's artistic practice which is deeply rooted in her personal experience of illness. She engages with medical records, imagery, language, photographs and ephemera from the medical environment. Her work reinterprets and repositions these elements, reflecting her subjective experience of illness, while critically engaging with the language used to describe and categorise it.
​
In this workshop, Lucy will guide you through a reflective exploration of your own medical records and ephemera. Together, we’ll examine the language and imagery used to describe and capture your experience, and encourage you to insert your own interpretations and insights. By reframing the narratives imposed by medical professionals or others, you’ll create a zine that explores your personal story through a creative lens.

This session offers a space to explore how we react to the language and imagery surrounding our experience, and how we can reclaim and reinterpret it.

Zines Forever! DIY Publications and Disability Justice at The Wellcome Collection

14 March 2025 – 14 September 2025
Event: Saturday, 26th April - 12:30 - 1:30pm
​
‘Zines Forever! DIY Publications and Disability Justice’ looks at how zines have been used to share experiences of disability and disabled identity. A form of radical self-publishing, zines come in all shapes, sizes and media, from single-page handwritten mini-zines to tactile zines exploring accessibility through braille and audio.
 
The display draws on our growing collection of over 1300 zines themed around health. It explores how the making and sharing of zines can further disability activism and political resistance and serve as a vehicle for community building and mutual support.
 
Almost all the zines will be available to handle and read at your leisure in the relaxed surroundings of the display. And if you feel inspired, you’ll be able to make your own zine! 
 
As part of this event I will be running a workshop about my own practice and inviting participants to make their own simple zine. Book FREE tickets here
