Cancer Ward 12: art, medical science, literature and life

Pages 52-63 | Received 02 Jan 2018, Accepted 27 Feb 2018, Published online: 25 Mar 2018
 

Abstract

Cancer Ward 12 is an ongoing creative project concerned with expressing and articulating, through art, the physical, emotional and social impact of a cancer diagnosis. The first stage of the project was carried out through an artist residency on the general oncology ward, locally known as Ward 12, at Singleton Hospital in Swansea, Wales, in November 2016, and this led to a public exhibition of artwork, launched in Swansea in May 2017. This paper focuses on the methodology and rationale behind the Cancer Ward 12 project, and on the nature of the relation between creative practice and medical science.
