What are the odds? Ikon Creative Health is an off-site exhibition, at the Library of Birmingham, which explores the role of art in supporting health and care systems.
Bringing together three years of Ikon’s collaborative research with visual artists, academic and charity partners into an immersive display, the exhibition reflects a range of lived experience from diversity in infant feeding to ageing and dying well. Accompanied by a 1970s-style graphic identity, designed by Birmingham based artist Foka Wolf, What are the odds? plays on a ‘game of life’ TV show aesthetic, simulating a journey through the different institutions that define a life course.
What are the odds? presents creative health not only as an intervention, but as a way of questioning, shaping and understanding the conditions we live in. Several artists have worked with communities to use creative methods to break down societal barriers and advocate for health justice.
