Crafting Life: Responding Creatively to Reproduction and Women’s Health

Old Divinity School, St John’s College, All Saint's Passage, Cambridge
Part of the 2026 Cambridge Festival. Crafting Life: Responding Creatively to Reproduction and Women’s Health brings together scientists, artists, writers, and musicians to explore how creative practice can illuminate and respond to research on women’s health and reproduction.
The event will unfold in three parts, each inviting audiences to experience and reflect on the intersections between art and science. Guests are invited to attend any or all of them as they wish.
I'll be performing throughout Part 2 – Writing Reflections (18.30–19.15): A conversation and performance featuring Professor Amanda Sferruzzi-Perri (biologist, Fetal and Placental Physiology), Dr Frances Myatt (classicist, Department of Classics), and Lara Gisborne (singer/songwriter), accompanied by multi-instrumentalist Matt Kelly. Together they will discuss their creative collaboration - drawing connections between Amanda’s research on pregnancy and women’s health, Frances’s study of childbirth in the ancient Roman world, and Lara’s songwriting inspired by these conversations. The session will include live performances of songs emerging from their exchange.
