081556/Z/06/Z: Silent at Heart

Project description:This award is for the development of an innovative arts project raising public awareness of the risk  factors and symptoms associate with sudden cardiac death syndrome (SCDS), the ‘silent killer’, a  fatal but treatable heart condition that mainly affects healthy and active young people. Art works and  short films will be developed through collaborations between artists, health professionals and a group  of young people who are being tested for SCDS, focusing especially on their personal response to  the diagnosis process. These works will be showcased in an exhibition at a London gallery and a  national tour, and through other strategies such as film screenings at local cinemas, a website and  an interactive CD-ROM.
