Project description:This award focuses on the topic of multiple sclerosis (MS). Through the media of photography and narrative, ‘Face to Face’ gives people with MS an opportunity to express their own unique experience of living with MS and being a research volunteer. The project aims to break down the traditional boundaries set by scientists. Producing a shift of values, as it draws away from the analytical and impersonal method and further towards the personal experience of the volunteer. ‘Face to Face’ is a collaborative project between the Department of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering and Artcare at Salisbury District Hospital. Photographer and artist Karen Hitchlock has been commissioned to produce a series of exhibitions and an accompanying catalogue.
