Calling for artists and art students!

4 November 2024

IPUR is looking for an art student or artist to work with us on our Risk Resonance project from December 2024 to March 2025 and create a work of art informed by conversations between young adults, parents, and risk experts. You will have the opportunity to work closely with members of the public, risk experts, communications and public engagement practitioners, as well as researchers from the NUS Institute for the Public Understanding of Risk and the Behavioural and Implementation Science Interventions group at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine at NUS.

The pilot project will investigate how perceptions of obesity can lead to mental health problems amongst young people in Singapore.

About Risk Resonance

Risk Resonance is an innovative public engagement programme that aims to bring risk researchers and experts together with local communities and members of the public most affected by particular risks to explore the boundaries between public perception of risk and expert views of risk to develop new interventions to make people healthier, happier, and safer. The Risk Resonance programme will attempt to understand how art can be used to achieve these outcomes by working with art students and leading artists to explore an area of risk.
