The Heart & Lung Repair Shops Extension (360G-Wellcome-103135_Z_13_A)

£29,883

The Heart and Lung Convenience Store will be the National Heart and Lung Institute's second popup science shop, embedding creative science engagement within the community setting of a bustling West London shopping centre. Academics, clinicians and researchers will collaborate with artists, designers, craftspeople and performers to transform an empty retail unit in Hammersmith's Kings Mall into a visually captivating space. The visitor experience will incorporate interactive multi-sensory activities engaging audiences with topics including personalised medicine, rapid diagnosis, targeted treatments, healthcare technologies and generally more convenient heart and lung healthcare for the future. The shop will open for two weeks from 19 October-1 November 2015. Audiences will engage through visual exhibits and displays, participatory installations, demonstrations, workshops, talks and performances. In addition to standard opening hours we will hold special events both within the shop and at local community venues including evening debates, schools workshops, a heart and lung comedy night, a heart and lung pub quiz and a heart and lung hackathon. The project will have an online presence through the NHLI website, The Heart and Lung Convenience Store Shopping Channel on YouTube where filmed content will be collected, partner organisation websites (including Fun Kids radio) and social media channels.
