MAËLISS LE BRICON

artist in exhibition Breaking this silence

Maëliss Le Bricon is an actress and patient-partner. She trained in "simulation" within the hospital environment, a practice she developed at the Pellegrin University Hospital in Bordeaux in collaboration with doctors, psychiatrists, nurses, nursing assistants, and childcare workers.

Taking time, listening, slowing down, and reinstating attention and empathy are at the heart of these interventions. In the face of illness, shock, or death, care is the first step toward resilience. The goal of these simulations is to empower patients to be "actors of their own lives."
