Dialogues: a series of seminars about sustaining your arts practice.
Join artist Paul Digby for a reflective seminar exploring his Arts Council England–funded projects created in collaboration with the ICU ward at St James’s Hospital, Leeds. Through a series of drawings and sculptures, Paul captures the human stories and emotional landscapes that emerged during and after the pandemic.
This talk will trace the development of his work — from projects leading up to the pandemic to his more recent Hand Series, which continues to explore gesture, touch, and empathy. Paul will discuss how art can document shared experience, support wellbeing, and open conversations between artists, healthcare professionals, and communities.
Accessible and insightful, the seminar offers a unique perspective on creativity within care environments and the role of contemporary art in times of change.
This event is funded by Leeds City Council’s Grow programme.
