What if art could say the things people find hardest to put into words?

In this special live episode from Macmillan’s 2026 Professionals Conference, we explore The Cancer Tapestry- a global community art project bringing together over 1,000 volunteers to stitch their lived experiences of cancer into a powerful collective story.

Joined by artist Andrew Crummy MBE, surgeon Rodney Mountain, and Macmillan’s Eleanor Ogilvie, we discuss how creative expression, storytelling, and community-based art can support emotional wellbeing, reduce isolation, and enhance personalised cancer care. This inspiring conversation highlights the role of arts in healthcare, social prescribing, and person-centred approaches to cancer support.

Discover how creativity can transform cancer care experiences, spark meaningful conversations beyond clinical settings, and connect individuals, families, and communities around the world.

Content warning: This episode contains conversations about lived experience of cancer which you may find upsetting or triggering. Listener discretion is advised.
