Dr. Lorna Collins, FHEA, FRSPH, FRSA is an artist, writer, filmmaker, arts educator and researcher in Creative Health. She is project manager of “A Creative Transformation", an Arts-Council funded project led by and for people with lived experience of acquired brain injury. Lorna did her PhD at Jesus College, Cambridge University, where she was a triple scholar. Amongst other books, Lorna is the author of Making Sense: Art Practice and Transformative Therapeutics (Bloomsbury) and a series of children’s fiction, beginning with Squawk: A Book of Bird Adventures (Pegasus). She has written articles about mental health, the NHS, creativity and art in The Independent, The Guardian and The British Medical Journal. Lorna’s artistic, literary and research outputs respond to her lived experience of traumatic brain injury, total amnesia and decades of being detained in psychiatric hospitals.

ArtBomb is Doncaster's experimental arts festival & pop-up art space — designed to provoke debate across current environmental, mental health and ecological thinking — in collaboration with the Unitarian Church.
