Advances in science and healthcare have allowed people with life-threatening illnesses to live longer and healthier lives. But the outcomes of treatment are uncertain and the experience of living in-between a promise of prolonged life, and the possibility of illness reoccurring and progressing, is often misunderstood.
Thirty-two people diagnosed with a life-threatening illness (cancer, chronic kidney disease, and HIV/AIDS) volunteered for an interview. They were asked to identify a symbol that represented their experience with their diagnosed illness. Symbols of living in-between: Re-stor(y)ing life within life-threatening illness is the collective effort from a team of nurse researchers seeking new insights into the experiences of individuals that live with the uncertainty of a serious illness.
This exhibit shares a selection of these important images and stories with the public. Symbols range from personal objects and medical documents to favourite music, clothing, and family photographs. Narratives from the participants and poems produced by the research team accompany the stories of these individuals living with a life-threatening illness. The symbols and narratives highlight how living with a life-threatening illness is much more than a “medical story.”
Symbols of living in-between: Re-stor(y)ing life within life-threatening illness is a travelling exhibit and will be displayed in multiple spaces from galleries to healthcare facilities. This exhibit is part of a larger study entitled Re-stor(y)ing Life Within Life-Threatening Illness. The Re-stor(y)ing project has been funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR). KRESCENT and the Kidney Foundation of Canada has provided additional support.
This free exhibit runs from April 13 to June 4, 2012, at the Maltwood Prints and Drawings Gallery in the McPherson Library (Lower Level) at UVic. Gallery follows regular library hours.

Director: Paddy Considine UK, 2011, 89 minutes; rated 18A
WINNER! BEST DIRECTION & SPECIAL JURY PRIZE –Sundance Film Festival
The directorial debut of actor Paddy Considine is an unflinching portrait of an outwardly very bad Yorkshireman named Joseph (Peter Mullan), who is introduced being thrown out of a pub, and mortally wounding his own dog in a fit of rage. The question of what can turn a man into such a dangerous misanthrope is answered tangentially by way of a guardian angel with her own problems. Peter is comforted by Hannah (Olivia Colman, in one of the year's best performances), a Christian proselytiser and wannabe Samaritan whose own eyes betray a sorrow equal to Peter's. It is not a surprise that Joseph and Hannah manage to redeem each other, after a fashion… --Jam! Movies
