| Description | This chapter describes an arts-based approach to public engagement that offers an alternative to conventional means of research dissemination. This approach involved a dissemination event involving an installation of body maps depicting the experiences of young people impacted by psychosis who participated in a 12-week intervention focused on their physical health. The installation involved partnering with curators from the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) and 26 artist-practitioners who responded to our Expression of Interest to re-imagine, re-represent, and respond to the body maps and accompanying testimonia. Members of the university and general public community were invited to the research dissemination event and had an opportunity to reflect on their experience via anonymous written statements generated at the installation and via in-depth qualitative interviews post event. Findings indicated that the installation provided an accessible method to expand audience reach and offered a way to understand the lived experience of psychosis and enhance mental health literacy. It conveyed the link between mind and body, and the importance of attending to physical and mental health. It also demonstrated strong potential for increasing empathy and understanding of lived experience. Respondents highlighted that the art works created in response to the body maps were often abstract and difficult to interpret and could have benefitted from including more detail about their creation. The installation provided the creation of a socially engaging space in which conversations about mental health issues occurred. Book Name: Applying Body Mapping In Research |
