Empowered Journeys: A Co-Curated Exploration of Breast Cancer Surgery
Get PDFThis is the booklet that accompanies the Empowered Journeys exhibition, a co-curated display of artworks and text created by Alexandra Perry, Elizabeth Lydiate, Frankie Vale, Katherine Baker, Mary Geraghty, Penny Wright, and Sarah Browne, people with lived expertise of breast cancer surgery. The booklet also contains a foreword by research fellow Jimmy Turner.
The exhibition, and therefore the materials contained within this booklet, are the culmination of a year-long curatorial research project as part of a wider doctoral project being undertaken by Frankie Vale at the University of Glasgow. The project uses participatory approaches to respond to a crisis in representation for the post-surgery body; the current state of representation is wrapped up in detached medical imagery, or concepts of heroism and martyrdom. Although these forms of representation have their place, and are inspiring and aspirational for some, for others they do not feel representative, and can have negative effects. Empowered Journeys speaks to the importance of representation to feel seen, heard, and to feel less alone in your experiences. This guide showcases the artworks that were created when the question of representation was put to a group of women who have been through breast cancer surgery and highlights the themes that thread between the works to build a different understanding of representation, one that is rooted in the lived experience of the women who collaborated on the project.
The University of Edinburgh has been instrumental in providing moments of collaboration and dissemination for this research project, helping Frankie to refine ideas and concepts that have then translated into Empowered Journeys itself

Poems on My Mind: a toolkit for poetry writing by people living with neurological illness
Get PDFThe Poems on my Mind toolkit derives from the Poetry and Multiple Sclerosis study, a doctoral project undertaken by Georgi Gill in the Centre for Creative-Relational Inquiry at the University of Edinburgh. That research explored the potential of poetry to offer new forms of creative occupation and communication of health experiences by people living with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Over 100,000 people in Scotland live with a disabling neurological condition. These individuals can experience greater levels of isolation than the general population and may benefit from targeted social interventions. Accordingly, the scope of this toolkit has been expanded from the original focus of MS to include people living with Parkinson’s Disease, motor neurone disease and also stroke survivors.
The Poems on my Mind toolkit comprises: an introduction to the project; advice for running poetry groups; tips for using the resources for solo writing; and four themed session plans for workshops which explore different elements of lived experience of neurological illness. The toolkits will be distributed to organisations supporting people with neurological conditions, enabling these organisations to establish their own online or face-to-face poetry writing groups with the aim of improving service users’ wellbeing and ability to express their illness experience. The toolkit has also been designed to be adaptable for individual use
