What is the power of a critical case?
We believe in a curious research-based practice, that build on the scientific results from world leading researchers in the domain of Arts and Health, following the lines of WHO. This has proven beneficial to stimulate innovation and local cultures on Danish hospitals. We always build the artworks in close collaboration with the health straff and patients to build common art hypothesis for improved performance and wellbeing. The intervention is highly pupular, and is now used as a benchmark in the Regional Birth manuals in Denmark.
