Dear All:
The exhibition Fun with Cancer Patients - developed for Fierce Festival, in collaboration with Birmingham Teenage Cancer Trust - opened on Thursday at macbirmingham, and features documentation of a number of live art interventions/actions initiated by teenage cancer patients and produced by myself (Brian Lobel) and the Fun with Cancer Patients team. The exhibition features reflections by current medical practitioners from across disciplines.
The exhibition runs at the mac (Cannon Hill Park, Birmingham) until 7 October.
There is also a brilliant blog, initiated by Cath Lambert, discussing and exploring the exhibition. This research is funded by the AHRC and can be found here:

And on Thursday, 19 September will be an interactive workshop: We Have To Talk About Cancer, facilitated by 7 teenagers from the Birmingham Teenage Cancer Trust.
We Have to Talk About Cancer
6:30-8pm, Thursday 19 September. mac birmingham
In this interactive workshop and presentation, six young adults with cancer will facilitate community discussion about ‘the cancer story’ – theirs, yours, ours. Come prepared to talk, to listen, and reflect on this illness that used to be discussed in hushed tones, that is now discussed all the time, and that is still a complete mystery.
This workshop is free to attend. Please go to the mac sales and info desk on 6.30pm on the day. Suitable for 16 +
warmly,
Brian
