WIHL Art Series
An Overview
The Women in Healthcare Leadership Art Series is delivered by Ameana Khan (HLA Scholar 2020-21 and Anaesthetic Registrar)
The NHS workforce is made up of a diverse community. Like many organisations, there are also some inequalities that are embedded within the NHS. In order to gain insight into the thoughts of other NHS workers, Ameana has requested her colleagues to be her muses and tell the story of their background and the challenges they have faced as women and as being a part of the ethnic minority. In her series of art pieces, she has used an urban style to accentuate the powerful role the women play as NHS workers. She has written ‘strong women’ in English as well as their native language.
Inspired by the poster “We Can Do It” aka “Rosie the Riveter”, who has served as a powerful symbol to many women and has motivated and provided strength to many individuals throughout society. Ameana has created a series of work (which is on going) to celebrate the many strong women within out NHS workforce.
