Language of Hope and Courage at the Children's Hospital at OU Medicine
The beauty of the Language of Hope and Courage project is that it was simple. Patients, their families and their medical teams experimented with a simple, non-judgmental, tactile and collage-like creative process by hand tearing their own “identity glyph” self-representational identity symbol and then putting them into a collaborative installation. The collaborative effort also included sharing the meaning and significance of each individual’s symbol.
Pictured is one of the Interactive and collaborative pop-up installations made from paper, glue and tape and premier presentations at the Jimmy Everest Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders. Created by outreach participants including patients, their families and their medical teams.

The Language of Hope and Courage is a collaborative and interactive hieroglyphic installation project that empowered critically ill children as they experienced the power of creative expression as part of the healing process. It culminate in a creative installation that will exhibit in the in 2020, and hopefully with other gallery exhibits to follow. This story installation is about the amazing and indomitable inherent spirit of these children battling illness and disease.
