Arts & Health South West is a partner in the Art & Social Change Project and has produced this special podcast series exploring the work, expertise, and stories of the people doing this work, and what the research is showing the arts & health sector. In episode 1 we speak to Nuccia Cammara and Dr Theo Stickley about the use of the arts in healthcare settings and in working with people in addiction and recovery, and also about healthcare worker burnout. Nuccia Cammara's work as a social worker in addiction contexts in Sicily, Italy is a foundation to the Art & Social Change project. She is an addiction worker, but she is also an artist. In episode 2 we speak with three artists involved with the project: Arturas Dubaka (Lithuania), Giorgio Caione (Italy), and Kate Lodge McCoy (UK). Small Performance Adventures: smallperformanceadventures.com (Lithuania) In episode 3 we speak with representatives of 'recovery cafes' in Lithuania and the UK to learn about what these venues are and why they are important to addiction and recovery. Joining us are Agne Bykova from Mano Guru, in Vilnius Lithuania and Pete Davies, from Cascade Creative Recovery in Brighton in England.
