Co-curating as caring: an exploratory study within a cancer hospital.

Abstract

Co-curating projects have involved people collaborating to create exhibited artwork displays. These collaborative exhibitions have been created for audiences such as those in health settings. Little has been known about such co-curating projects within hospitals caring for people with cancer. This thesis is a thematic exploration of the processes and experiences of cancer hospital exhibition co-curating as caring. An adapted qualitative study design explored a hospital co-curating project with a group of young adult patients and reflecting around two generated themes of caring associated with the project. The thematic exploration’s original contribution to better understanding the processes and experiences of cancer hospital exhibition co-curating as caring, and to better understanding co-curating as caring more widely, are visualised and discussed.
