Background

The Global South Arts and Health Week was inspired by the creative engagements and multicultural collaboration from the Arts in Medicine Projects led Global Arts in Medicine Fellowship programme, which has hosted an Arts in Health festival twice every year since 2018.

It is a creative health initiative led by an interdisciplinary team of students and professionals from Africa, Asia, the UK, Europe, and America. This programme has impacted over 10,000 participants from 43 countries across the globe. This includes patients, community members, and healthcare professionals, among others.

The Global South Arts & Health Week seeks to collaborate with arts and cultural organisations, academic institutions, public and community health establishments, government agencies, diplomatic missions, local and international organisations, the private and public sectors, civic societies, NGOs, cultural producers, festival directors, and a team of interdisciplinary students and professionals.
