The Language Of Pain
@thelanguageofpain.bsky.social
Co-created by a collective of individuals united by ill-health, The Language of Pain aims to articulate the invisible and often denied experience of chronic illness and pain. We use arts-based methods, embodied practice, and draw on lived experience.
The project team includes a conventional researcher, a somatic filmmaker, a composer, and six lived experience experts with experience, talent and interest in practices including writing, drawing, collage, yoga, somatic practice, drama, music and... tea drinking

We use Zoom as the 'studio' for our research to accommodate our health needs. We meet online once a fortnight to develop our practice and use Padlet to work asynchronously outside of scheduled sessions. We are exploring how to work together in online spaces.

For this project, film serves as a creative medium for documenting, editing and sharing the material generated through our process, and we embrace the poetic device of storytelling to focus on the lived experience of chronic pain.
