So good to read this! How arts discourse and practice can be more than pleasant/ inconsequential marginalia to critical medical humanities. Sometimes practice DOES need to lead! Creativity is v good at pushing at the breaking edge of knowledge, I’m convinced of it. Visual & Material Lab

Productive ambiguity, discomfort and risk in spades during the closing day of Art & the Critical Medical Humanities. Thank you to everyone who attended and actively made such a productive space possible. Looking forward to next steps!

I've loved Remedios Varo's work since I was an undergrad intern at Women in the Arts (NMWA) - it was such a pleasure to get deep into her engagement with the history of science, alchemy, androgyny, and the occult. Have a listen and let me know what you think! open.spotify.com/episode/0ZtDuN…
