About

While many of us waited out the pandemic at home, hospital staff have endured several years of immense workloads, trauma and stress — and the pandemic is not over yet.

This year RMIT’s School of Art has collaborated with the Alfred Hospital’s Innovation and Education Hub. This project focuses on the well-being and experience of Alfred Hospital staff. The exhibition assesses our anxieties in a post-COVID world through the lens of those on the ground in our hospital system and examines the broader impacts as we learn to live with COVID. The works of art will be multi sensory, reflecting on the well-being of the staff at the hospital and challenge the audience to think about the meaning and repercussions associated with being at the coalface of health care throughout a pandemic.

The project will engage medical and hospital staff across our shared anxieties amidst COVID.

While we hope to have an opening night that is accessible to the public, in light of protecting our healthcare workers, at present this exhibition is for hospital staff only. Please check back in for further information on opening night.
