The corridor gallery

Richard Stephens has been screen printing since he retired about 15 years ago, and is a member of Oxford Printmakers Co-operative.

He likes working from photographs, often taken on foreign trips, and is interested in old and decaying buildings.

He's recently produced a series of large prints based on Osney Old Power Station, displayed here for the first time.

This exhibition is part of Oxfordshire Artweeks:

The Kintsugi People project was devised by Dr Carol Holliday, psychotherapist, and lecturer at the University of Cambridge (now retired).

Through her 30 years of clinical practice, she found people often used metaphors of brokenness, fragmentation, splits or cracks to express distress or describe traumatic events.

Kintsugi is the Japanese art of mending broken pottery with precious metals, such as gold. It resonates with the process of healing, both inside and out.

This exhibition is of Ryan Davies' photographs of people who have visible scar tissue from either accidents or surgery. The scars in the images have been gilded with pure gold.

This exhibition features artwork that explores and highlights the complex relationship between behaviour, culture and health.

'Parkinson's Dance' by Kat Brooks-Pugh explores how movement impacts those living with Parkinson's. 'Our Air' (pictured) by Adam Isfendiyar explores the impact of air pollution in London, and 'In Order to Bloom' by Laura Foster tells the story of the complexity and strength of motherhood, coinciding with the ongoing battle against the disease of addiction.

The exhibition has been developed by the Wellcome Centre for Cultures and Environments of Health, the World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe and is a collaborative project with the Wellcome Centre for Ethics and Humanities at the University of Oxford.

This exhibition showcases entries from the Centre for Personalised Medicine's 2022/23 Art Competition, on the theme of 'measurements in health and disease', alongside Journeys Through Genomics - a collection of illustrations co-produced with patients to share their experiences of genomic medicine, and show how they shape and are shaped by the broader context of their lives.

In the second year of the competition (open to pupils in Year 7, 8 or 9 of secondary school), the theme is 'screening newborn babies for disease'.

"...I could not
Speak, and my eyes failed, I was neither
Living nor dead, and I knew nothing,
Looking into the heart of light, the silence."

The Waste Land, T S Eliot 1922

Harriet Riddell is the textile performance artist who completed the artwork Left arm or Right? which documents the vaccination programme rollout at Oxford University Hospitals and can be seen in the John Radcliffe Hospital main entrance.

Harriet has travelled around the world with her sewing machine, creating art in unusual locations from markets, jungles, tops of mountains and floating villages to African slums and Swiss streets.

Recently, Harriet became a mother; she now finds her inspiration in slightly less exotic but by no means less beautiful settings such as launderettes and cafés. In this exhibition she captures and celebrates the mundane.

Our future in focus celebrates the best of Oxford University Hospitals (OUH) - its people, their values and the modern facilities and cutting-edge healthcare we are dedicated to delivering, both now and in the future.

The exhibition was conceived by the Trust's in-house Clinical Photography team based at the John Radcliffe Hospital. Through the lens of each of our six talented Clinical Photographers, Our future in focus showcases the dedication, innovation, compassion and professional pride that exists across OUH.

It includes photographs documenting the changing working conditions for OUH staff during the pandemic by staff member Jon Lewis, as well as reproductions of paintings by Zito Soares Da Silva (pictured on the South Street Gallery page), a member of our Intensive Care Unit's housekeeping team, who painted his response to the work of his colleagues on the ward.

Also displayed are a selection of portraits of OUH staff created as part of a national project - Portraits of NHS Heroes - developed by the Oxford portrait painter Tom Croft, and work by artists who have generously given their time and creativity to thank NHS staff by auctioning and selling their artwork such as Emma Waddleton (whose painting The Hug is pictured) and Adam Dant.
