The Centre for Medical Humanities continues its collaboration with Uppsala Art Museum. During the spring, the exhibition CORPUS COSMOS will be shown, which focuses on bodily experiences in the borderland between faith and knowledge. In connection with the exhibition, an art talk titled "The Surgical Incision" [Det kirurgiska snittet] is organised on March 20, where Andreas Rydberg, researcher connected to CMH is on the panel. The exhibition will open on March 15.
Jonas Wadström, Andreas Rydberg och Pia Sandström.
What does it mean to cut through the the skin? What attitudes towards the body are evoked in today's high-tech operating rooms? What psychological and existential stages does the patient go through? What lines of historical ideas can be drawn between the past and the present? These are questions addressed in the panel discussion "The Surgical Incision" [Det kirurgiska snittet] which is being arranged in connection with the exhibition Corpus Cosmos at Uppsala Art Museum.
The Centre for Medical Humanities is co-organizer of the panel discussion, and Andreas Rydberg, researcher in the history of science and ideas and connected to the Centre for Medical Humanities is one of the panelists, together with Jonas Wadström, surgeon at the University Hospital and associate professor at the Department of Surgical Sciences and Transplantation Surgery, Uppsala University, and Pia Sandström, artist who participates in the exhibition Corpus Cosmos.
Tickets for the panel discussion can be booked via Tickster (see below).
