what stories does your body tell?

All medical and healing practices rely on body images. Anatomical images not only describe bodies, they reflect worldviews, social dynamics, and cultural politics.

In the Critical Anatomies Lab, we explore the relationship between embodiment and aesthetic practices, and design artifacts that present bodies as dynamic and vulnerable, containing a cosmology of meanings, connected to their historical context, and merged with other bodies.

PROJECTS

The question of the body is central to Design and Healthcare, yet it is largely ignored. We create resources, experiences and graphic materials that inform research and action for all forms of design ❤︎
