Outwitting Cancer Online

Francis Crick Institute, London

May - September 2021

Outwitting Cancer Online was a web-based exhibition conceived to accompany the in person exhibition of the same name, which opened to the public in September 2021. I was invited to create an online experience which did not replicate the in person exhibition, but instead aimed to appeal to a more general audience by reducing and simplifying the more rigorous scientific content of the in person version. I wanted to amplify the voices of people with lived experience, so we produced short audio pieces drawn from an online workshop held with people living with cancer. The workshop participants had also been involved in the in-person exhibition, so we were drawing on relationships of trust that already existed. The exhibition can be seen at Outwitting Cancer Online.
