Faces/Story/ Art

1. How Can You have a Face-Sheet Without a Face?
Solving Medical Quandaries Through Story and Art.
A patient activist perspective by Regina Holliday

2. The power of a face.
The power of a name.
The power of a story.

3. “During this hospital stay, how often was your pain well controlled?”
Art can provide a face to cold clinical statistics.

4. Art.
That’s for kids, right?

5. The lessons learned in kid auction art:
“The face of my child is on that painting, I must have it…”

6. Art can make clinical spaces “pretty.”
But as any child can tell you,
it can be dangerous to enter candy houses.
Art can be used to
mask the rotten
apple or it can be used
to
reveal it.

7. Healthcare is not Rainbows and Butterflies.
It is real human faces…

8. Are you ready to jump?
Are you ready to change the way you think about art within medicine?

9. Writing
on the
Wall.
(or what one widow can
do with a borrowed ladder
an available wall and
$500.00 in paint.)

10. They can Write it on a Wall.
How can an outsider artist,
send a message to us all?

11. Painting Advocacy meets
Social Media
Street art is truly the first global art movement fueled by the Internet.
–Marc and Sara Schiller, Wooster Collective, 2010

12. “The aim of art is to represent not the
outward appearance of things, but their
inward significance.” ~Aristotle

13. This is the painting 73 cents.
This is the vital patient story, the social history , the sacred heart of Fred’s
ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORD.
And this painting, like the internet,
advocates 24 hours a day
and you cannot tell a wall to shut up.

14. “Shouldn’t Art stick to what it does best-
the delivery of pleasure?
And forget about being a Paintbrush warrior.
Or, is it when the bombs are dropping we find out what art is really for?”
-Power of Art by Simon Schama

15. Art Advocacy and its affect on health policy
In the institution or in governance

16. Art can compare hard data to soft data
and apples to apples.

17. Prior legislation can inspire the art
that explains the future of health.
ADA
Civil Rights
Orphan Drug Act
HIPAA

18. Meaningful Use in a
Diner…..

19. Why not paint about the need
for better hygiene practices?

20. Sometimes “blowing a gasket” leads to the best kind of collaborative disruption.
Crowd-funding exists to make the impossible possible….

21. You can crowd fund
Advocacy
Patient Scholarships

22. Why can’t we ask Hallmark
to make hospice cards?
Would that help us talk
about end of life?

23. You can use images
to inspire
better communication

24. #HospiceCards
Become a reality

25. Join a Walking Wall of Patient Stories
The Walking Gallery

26. Patients spend much of their
days living in
Negative space.
Instead of being the subject
of attention
We are often the space around
The image of medicine.
The back ground
The prop

27. Street Art:
The more stickers that are out there the more important it seems.
The more important it seems, the more people want to know what it is.
The more they ask they ask each other.
It gains real power from perceived power.-Shepard Fairey

29. We can redefine expectations of the role of art in medicine
at every hospital, clinic and conference.

30. Let Patients Speak
Sometimes one voice,
One face,
Can change the world.

31. Are you ready ?
Join us and when you turn your back, you are facing us all the more.
