The Art of Nursing: Creativity, Resistance, Renewal
16 Jul 2025, 13:00 - 14:00
Choose event information:
The sixth Art of Nursing Webinar, in partnership with Foundation of Nursing Studies, celebrates the launch of a new exhibition at the RCN.
The RCN Library and Museum's new major exhibition presents art by and about nurses - revealing how they have been mythologised, frequently as saints, angels and heroes, usually as female, predominantly as white. It explores the role of art in constructing and also resisting such stereotypes, by exposing the complexity, labour and expertise of nursing, perhaps the most artful of professions.
This webinar explores the exhibition themes of creativity, resistance and renewal in more depth.
The webinars are engaging hour-long fire side chats (no slides allowed), bringing interesting people and innovative ideas together to show what is possible and how the arts help us deliver sustainable goals. Five people - nurses, artists, and activists - come together to share their work and inspire others into action.
