Raising diabetes awareness through art and design
Image-making has the power to create social change and drive transformative conversations within our diabetes community. It can shift the entire narrative and help us move away from fear-based imagery or the pervasive, and often horrific, medical aesthetics.
Art can captivate us, stirring a mix of awe and curiosity within us. Some pieces effortlessly tap into our inner creativity and appreciation for beauty, while others provoke deep contemplation on social issues.
