PAST EVENT: This was part of the EAF25 programme.

Could we dare to dream of a healthcare service that works for everyone? 

As part of their film installation at the EAF Pavilion, audiences joined Civic Artists-in-Residence Jj Fadaka and Ria Andrews for a screening of their film, My Blood Runs Purple, as well as a Q+A with the artists, chaired by writer Titilayo Farukuoye.

Part of EAF Lates at the Pavilion, the event gave an insight into the process of the film’s creation, and the radical imagination of choice, person-centred care, understanding, and advocacy it put forward. Recorded over a four month residency period, from the Scottish Borders to the Central Belt, the film spoke back to flailing health and social care structures through poetry, field music, and testimony by Ria Andrews and Jj Fadaka, artists living in so-called black, gendered bodies.
