This exhibition by Oxford artist Steve Empson explores the influence an environment can have on our sense of belonging and our wellbeing.

'A Sense of Place' describes his own relationship with place, and his deeper knowledge and understanding that comes through painting it.

It can be emotionally intense yet invoke the deepest calm. Its culture and history are felt through observation of a place's ecology, its texture and patina, and through its air and its light.

Most of the paintings in this exhibition are predominantly soft pastel over watercolour. The subjects are from the most influential places in his life; his home environment of NE England, his adopted home of Oxford, and from over 30 visits absorbing the visual excitement of India.

When you grow up in a place, you will know it like you know no other; but there are far away places that can strangely evoke a similarly strong sense of belonging.

This exhibition brings together a collection of portraits of phenomenal women nominated by their colleagues for making a trailblazing and transformative impact within the world of healthcare.

They include those driving greater equality and scientific development; those who have immigrated in search of a better life to elevate the lives of others in the process; those who tirelessly support fellow women despite their own struggles; those providing limb care to patients impacted by conflict; and those who travelled to Ukraine to train local surgeons in reconstructive surgery.

Their portraits have been painted by Oxford University Hospitals staff: Petra Heenan, Cristyna Bremner, Martina Kliska, Julia Wong, Pratima Gurung and Katarzyna Zawanda.

The Kintsugi People project was devised by Dr Carol Holliday, psychotherapist, and lecturer at the University of Cambridge (now retired).

Through her 30 years of clinical practice, she found people often used metaphors of brokenness, fragmentation, splits or cracks to express distress or describe traumatic events.

Kintsugi is the Japanese art of mending broken pottery with precious metals, such as gold. It resonates with the process of healing, both inside and out.

This exhibition is of Ryan Davies' photographs of people who have visible scar tissue from either accidents or surgery. The scars in the images have been gilded with pure gold.

This exhibition features artwork that explores and highlights the complex relationship between behaviour, culture and health.

'Parkinson's Dance' by Kat Brooks-Pugh explores how movement impacts those living with Parkinson's. 'Our Air' (pictured) by Adam Isfendiyar explores the impact of air pollution in London, and 'In Order to Bloom' by Laura Foster tells the story of the complexity and strength of motherhood, coinciding with the ongoing battle against the disease of addiction.

The exhibition has been developed by the Wellcome Centre for Cultures and Environments of Health, the World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe and is a collaborative project with the Wellcome Centre for Ethics and Humanities at the University of Oxford.
