Colour & Emotion is the outcome of an interdisciplinary and collaborative research project looking at colour, sensation and emotion and was funded by a UCL Grand Challenges: Human Wellbeing Award. It brought together artists, a human geographer, a speech and language therapist and a group of adults with acquired communication difficulties (aphasia) in a series of co-production workshops. The workshops explored how we can use colour to create a visual language for expressing feelings and emotions. The Colour and Emotion Toolkit was co-designed out of the workshops, and 5 prototypes of the toolkit were produced. Accompanying the toolkits is a publication, Colour & Emotion Manual, which provides instructions for using the complete toolkit, and can also be used independently. The broader aim of the research was to think through how colour can be used to establish a non-verbal approach to measuring well-being creatively.

Exhibiting artists: Malgorzata Bany, Jin Han Lee, Grace Hailstone, Thomas Jenkins, James Keith, Caroline de Lannoy, Stephanie Nebbia, Nir Segal, Lesley Sharpe, Estelle Thompson, Jo Volley and Rob Welch.
