The themes covered include research on health, society and culture across time and space into material objects, art, poetry, life writing and literature. Representing periods from the early modern to the contemporary, the exhibition shows transhistorical connections between objects and words.

The exhibition has been curated by the co-leads of the Health Humanities Research Group, Dr Sara Read and Dr Jade French. Sara commented: “There will be an eclectic mix of artwork, documents, and objects on display. There will be items from which we as humanities researchers have drawn inspiration and creative pieces which have been inspired by our research.”

The exhibition will be open Monday-Wednesday, 12pm-2pm and is free to view. There will also be a closing event with readings from contributors on Tuesday 23 April, 4pm-6pm. Please note the exhibition will be closed on Monday 1 April and Tuesday 2 April due to the Easter closure period.
