Arts and Humanities for Health
Introduction
The Arts and Humanities for Health (AHH) Research Group at the University of Lincoln unites researchers, practitioners, and community partners to harness creativity and cultural understanding for improved health and wellbeing. Spanning creative arts, humanities, social sciences, and healthcare, we explore how arts-based and humanities-informed approaches can respond to real-world challenges in health, care, and community life. Helping researchers to write and develop funding bids is also a key part of our work.
In collaboration with people with lived experience, caregivers, health professionals, educators, and cultural organisations, our work amplifies unheard voices, fosters connection, and drives meaningful change in policy and practice.

Alien Bodies
Alien Bodies is an art-science project by Steve Klee (art) and Kirsten McKenzie (psychology). It combines a body image experiment, a book chapter situating our work in a posthuman ethical frame, and an art video that science-fictionalizes the study. Ecological, decolonial, and queer insights shape an interstellar narrative and a workshop on body confidence.
