Collab/Oration In Conversation: Influencing Systems Through Creative Practice

Join us for an interactive event on the power of creative practice and lived experience to shape inclusive health systems!

RMIT's Health Transformation Lab is delighted to invite you to a unique event exploring the power of story-telling and creative practice in shaping and re-imagining futures in health.

The event is inspired by the powerful work of a collective of Australian writers with disability, led by award-winning writer Andy Jackson as part of his Writing the Future of Health Fellowship with the Health Transformation Lab. Collab/Oration produced the recently published "Raging Grace" anthology, and invites us to explore ideas of shared vulnerability, the wisdom of lived experience, and the need for a genuinely inclusive health system and society.

The event will include:

• Showcase of work from "Raging Grace", with readings by Andy Jackson, Sarah Stivens and Beau Windon.
• Panel discussion with practitioners from creative, academic and social sectors: Andy Jackson (moderator), Sarah Stivens, Beau Windon, Dr Anthea Skinner and Dr Tamara Borovica.
  
• Collaborative writing / creative experience.​

To fully experience the power of the works, themes, and conversation, in-person attendance is encouraged. An online option will be made available for those unable to attend in person.

When: Thursday 20th February, 10:30am - 1.00pm

Where: RMIT University's Social Innovation Hub,155 Pelham Street, Carlton

Light refreshments will be provided - places are limited so please book quickly to secure a spot!
