SUMMARY:ACHWS Creative Coffee Break Conversation: Health Inequalities
DESCRIPTION:Creative Coffee Break Conversation: A frame is not a state of mind\n\n\n\n\n\nAn event by Arts Culture Health and Wellbeing Scotland.\n\n\n“Health inequalities are the unjust and avoidable differences in people’s health across the population and between specific population groups. \nHealth inequalities go against the principles of social justice because they are avoidable. They do not occur randomly or by chance. They are socially determined by circumstances largely beyond an individual’s control. These circumstances disadvantage people and limit their chance to live longer\, healthier lives.” \n  \nA FRAME IS NOT A STATE OF MIND – Artists Talk \nAn in conversation with Chris McAdam and James McLardy where they explore their process of making their collaborative film works during the two lockdowns. The first collaboration explored remoteness and the strangeness of the moment. The second key life moments and their collaborative working relationship. Both explored and questioned feelings of isolation and anxiety. Chris and James will have a small invited audience joining them with you\, the ACHWS network\, being involved via Zoom. \nBook  your place here.\nYou can access the films here: \nA Frame is not a state of mind \nSummer in to Autumn \nThis is the first event in series of conversations happening over the next 3 months which will include looking at the role culture can play in supporting health outcomes\, including food poverty \, women’s health and global culture and health collaborations. \n  \nPlease contact Lauren Blair at VHS with any questions about this event. \nFind out more about Arts Culture Health & Wellbeing Scotland here \nWhy not follow ACHWS on Facebook and Twitter @achwscotland  \nJoin the Arts Culture Health & Wellbeing Scotland network for free here
