In collaboration with the program ‘Samen Gezond ‘s-Hertogenbosch’ we started an artistic action research with the Academie voor Beeldvorming about health inequalities in the municipality ‘s-Hertogenbosch. These differences have existed for years, but are currently growing.
Everywhere in the Netherlands, people with a low income and less education live an average of seven years less. They also live 15 years less in good health. Actions to reduce this gap don’t seem to have the desirable effect. That’s why we started to explore this topic with professionals and people who experience the health gap.
In december 2022 we organised a broad conversation in Huis73 together with the first people we involved. We used this moment to gather information and form an action agenda to tackle the most urgent topics.
More coming up!
