PPI Project – ‘What We Carry: Living with Pain’
Amplifying Voices in Pain Research. This powerful project explores chronic pain through photography, writing, and storytelling. The work – created in collaboration with pain sufferers – gives voice to experiences often invisible and misunderstood, offering both a creative outlet and vital insight for researchers and clinicians.
We are delighted to share details of our collaborative art-science project led by artist Marysa Dowling , Oxford Health Biomedical Research Centre, the University of Oxford and the Chronic Pain Neurotechnology Network+.
