Consider Eating Disorders in Men
Commissioned by The University of Nottingham, Consider Eating Disorders in Men, shares often-unheard experiences of men living with, and seeking support for eating disorders.
The animation aims to encourage health professionals to listen, reflect, and challenge often unconscious bias and stigma held around men living with eating disorders, to ensure more men can receive the help and support they need.

“Woven Ink together with artist Mathilde have done a superb job in this exceeding the exceptions of this AHRC-funded project. Highly professional, sensitive when working with vulnerable people, open to new ideas but also very knowledgeable in their field and excellent communicators on all levels. It’s been a pleasure working with WovenInk on this project.
The resulting animation is striking and beautiful, gentle but also very engaging. It holds the space for the voices it represents and every viewer we have asked has taken something meaningful away from it. Feedback from GPs and nurses, the target group for the animation, has been very positive, and the animation has also been enjoyed by a wide range of different viewers. It amplifies voices often unheard and the experiences they have to share...
Thanks so much for helping us make this a reality.”
