The Art of Creation Exhibition at the
Canadian National Perinatal Research Meeting

About The Exhibition

The Art of Creation was showcased at the Canadian National Perinatal Research Meeting as a focused demonstration of arts-based knowledge translation within a national scientific forum.

This Exhibition brought the work directly to reproductive scientists, clinicians, trainees, and health professionals who study and deliver care in early development and healthy pregnancies.

​

The Exhibition was showcased within the conference space and used as an anchor for structured engagement. Here, we showed that art could function as an effective and rigorous science communication tool within the research and clinical community itself.

​

We facilitated interactive workshops with clinicians, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and reproductive scientists. Participants were challenged to reflect on how they communicate complex

developmental science to their own communities of practice. Through guided exercises, they used creative methods to reconsider language, framing, and audience engagement, and to explore how visual and embodied approaches might strengthen clarity and impact.

​

For many attendees, this was the first time they thought of their science through artistic interpretation. The Exhibition demonstrated that arts-based knowledge translation is not limited to public outreach;

it can also prompt reflection within the scientific community and enhance how

evidence is shared across disciplines.

​

This event positioned The Art of Creation as a model for integrating art into professional scientific spaces, advancing dialogue about how complex perinatal research can be communicated

more effectively within clinical and research environments.
