About the event
Take part in a unique and empowering workshop dedicated to individuals with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), diagnosed or not. Part of the OpenArtFolke 24 festival, and taking place in PCOS Awareness Month, this session will harness the power of body mapping, a creative participatory research method, to create a safe and supportive space.
You'll connect with others who share similar experiences, process your feelings, and express your journey with PCOS through collaborative artmaking. Body mapping will allow us to visually represent our personal stories, emotions, and experiences, fostering a sense of community and mutual understanding.
Dr Laura J Brown, an expert in feminist global health research and creative participatory methods, will lead the session. Laura's lived experience with PCOS and her background in mental health mentoring will ensure a compassionate and insightful environment.
Participants: Up to 20 individuals with lived experience of PCOS, diagnosed or not
