Rewilding Healthcare

Laura Copsey (Curator), Sarah Yardley (Curator)

Research output: Practice-based/Artistic research › Exhibition

Abstract

Rewilding healthcare is a creative collaboration for UCL Trellis 5, between artist Laura Copsey and Sarah Yardley, a researcher and palliative medicine consultant.

The project invited participants to join in a series of creative workshops at Cody Dock in Newham, on the banks of the River Lea, in partnership with Julia Briscoe, Cody Dock co-founder and a former palliative care nurse.

Guided by Sarah’s co-produced theory of collective social safety, the creative workshops used metaphors related to water, islands and sailing to spark conversation and reframe healthcare experiences in new ways.

As a crew, they shared stories and perspectives in workshops informed by Laura’s practice involving mapping, navigation, signalling and the weather. Their aim was to reimagine healthcare as an open ecosystem that prioritises creativity and relationship-centered solutions, culminating in an exhibition at UCL East in April 2025.
