Event offered in English with Closed Captioning via Zoom.

Creative engagement is crucial for humanizing the care of vulnerable populations. Public Health, much broader than clinical care, requires organized efforts of society, combining programs, services and policies.

Both Public Health and Radical Connections make equitable access a priority - to healthcare and to participation in the Arts. Sharing research and networks, opening pathways to a growing community of practice, our public-health activism cultivates understanding across silos. Systems of care and creativity can thrive reciprocally.

Join five presenters, from Arts and Medicine, for Radical Connections’ interactive launch, and your place in co-creating a sustainable vision; employing artists and fortifying the lives of elders and caregivers.

The event is presented as part of the Neighbourhood Arts Ottawa Symposium: Blueprints for a hopeful future, with pop-up community arts events happening online and across Ottawa August 3 – 29, 2021. For more information, click here.

Neighbourhood Arts Ottawa is a community-engaged arts program by Arts Network Ottawa / Réseau des arts d'Ottawa and is made possible through the generous financial support of the Ontario Trillium Foundation and Ottawa Community Foundation.

Researcher, mentor, maker, cj works at the intersection of placemaking, collaboration and systems change. Investigating the potential of art in contemporary society, her approach to engagement, belonging and agency, honed through 20 public commissions and a range of innovative art actions, has seen her embedded in communities of labour, feminist: law, arts-education, and important social issues. You may know her work through the Women’s Monument Against Violence (Minto Park), the Dorothy O’Connell Ani-Poverty Activists Monument(City Hall), or 15 granite, bronze and stainless-steel pieces (Little Italy). As Artist in Residence at Bruyère and co-founder of Radical Connections, she works to break through silos and bring artists of all disciplines into the lives of people impacted by aging and changes in their health.

She co-founded the Bruyère Artist in Residence program and ConcertDocs, with both programs bringing the arts and a great deal of joy into residential care. She is presently completing an MBA in Healthcare at Rotman (Toronto) The GEMBA-HLS has been a springboard for Carol to launch Radical Connections with cj fleury. Together they aspire to make innovative improvements in healthcare by bridging the arts and health to create a community of practice.
