In November 2016 the Elizabeth Blackwell Institute and Life of Breath ran four days of events investigating pain, breathlessness, and the experience of being human. Watch our festival video to get a flavour of the festival.

The programme brought together talks, workshops, discussions and performances exploring research from the University of Bristol with explorations by visual artists, aerial performers, dancers, theatre-makers and musicians. These pages capture the spirit of the festival and evaluate the challenges and successes of engaging the public with research in this way. 

If you have been affected by any issues raised in these events and would like advice on finding further support please contact feel-it-festival@bristol.ac.uk
