We often underestimate the extent to which our health is shaped by societal and environmental factors—many of which are beyond our control. Disparities in living environments lead to health inequalities.

Creative Determinants of Health is a DIY instructional card project designed to help reconsider one's living environment from a different perspective and reflect on physical and mental health. Combining the Social Determinants of Health with Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences theory, the cards take an instruction art-based approach. Easily downloadable and hand-assembled, they function as both a participatory tool and a card-format artwork.

Some instructions are clear; others are intentionally ambiguous. Each card can be interpreted freely—used for personal reflection, as prompts for neighborhood exploration in community development contexts, or simply played with.
