We are pleased to announce that artist
Julie Light will be Sutton STEAMs Ahead’s Artist in Residence at the London Cancer Hub (LHR) until January 2024 as part of the Creative Impact Research and Development Residency.
The aim of the Creative Impact Research and Development Residency is to support a creative practitioner with a research and development (R&D) project that explores the intersection of art and science. It also focuses on the work currently taking place at The London Cancer Hub, and the potential work this innovative and developing science district could provide for the future.
The call for initial applications saw many proposals submitted. The panel - consisting of Sutton STEAMs Ahead team members and Dr Mariana Campos from the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) - selected five strong candidates to submit a full proposal as a next stage.
Julie’s application convinced the panel with her holistic approach to the opportunity. Her project ‘Evolving the Ecosystem’ will research the conceptual framework of the ecology of cancer and how to unravel it, as well as researching LCH as an ecosystem that brings together a cross section of organisations working towards a set of goals to create an impact which is greater than the sum of its parts.
