In this audio commission, we attended this ‘unconference’ which brought together over three hundred Londoners in person and online, to explore how the health, social care and cultural sectors can work together to tackle health inequalities across London.

We asked a broad range of people working at the intersection of creative health what they think about London as Creative Health Capital City; what needs to happen to make it a reality and what difference it would make to their work. We then weaved together conversations to highlight both the opportunities and challenges in making the ambition a reality with perspectives from different communities, practices and artforms.
