Health From Cradle to Grave: Birthing Chair to Death Couch

About

An exhibition highlighting the work from English at Loughborough University's Health Humanities Research Network.

The exhibition’s themes translate and distil high-quality research on health, society and culture across time and space into material objects, art, poetry, life writing, and literature. The work on display represents individual research endeavours and narrativises the sickness, health and wellbeing contexts across time and space. Representing periods from the early modern to the contemporary, the exhibition shows the transhistorical connections between objects and words.

There will be a closing event with readings on Tuesday 23 April from 4-6pm in the exhibition space.

Easter opening hours

The exhibition will be closed on Monday 1st and Tuesday 2nd April due to the University's closure period for Easter.
