Future vision of healthy people

Their works reflect the efforts of scientists searching for health innovations.

Utrecht region joining forces
Together with the opening of Art of Health, the manifest of Utrecht, Heart of Health was signed by members of the Economic Board Utrecht, which is directed by Susanne Schilderman, councillor of the City of Utrecht. With this manifest, the Utrecht region underlines their commitment to a healthier and more sustainable society. It’s an assignment to gather the strengths of all health-related initiatives; to reinforce and expand the international position of the Utrecht region. One example of this is the annual Dutch Health Week in Jaarbeurs Utrecht: a large health event for both citizens and healthcare professionals.
The Art of Healthcare and Wellbeing
With the Art of Health exhibition, HKU is showing how the arts can provide a unique contribution to solving the challenges in the field of health. Artists and designers are particularly capable of criticising systems, get stalled processes back in motion and imagine alternative futures. They can suggest new ideas and modes of thinking, from a wholly different approach, unconstrained by ingained assumptions, and transcending all traditional disciplines..svg?ext=.svg){kind=logo}
