Unravelling Eve. (360G-Wellcome-094493_Z_10_Z)
A collaboration between artist Joan Molloy, biomedical and social scientists, and women who have experienced postpartum psychosis ("PP"). Molloy will complete a period of residency at the MRC Centre for Neuropsychiatric Genetics and Genomics at Cardiff University in order to develop work that reflects upon issues of motherhood and inheritance- the beautiful complexity of the genetic science mirroring the intricacies of the social, ethical and familial implications of the illness. A 2-day workshop will connect the artist with women who have experienced an episode of PP. Molloy will share her work and lead practical art sessions in order to capture the voice of the women. A gathering of women like this is rare and will give scientists an opportunity for qualitative study so that they can improve their understanding of the emotional aspects of the illness. It will be an invaluable opportunity for the women to establish a dialogue with each other and clinicians, to share their stories and highlight the differences in their care. The artist's intention is to create a body of work, including an arresting film, which encapsulates the science and values the personal histories whilst engaging the public via exhibitions in Cardiff and Christies, London, as well as being available on the web.
