The eyes have it! We’ve been exploring these amazing objects held by Thackray Museum of Medicine as we work towards the exhibition with LivingBodiesObjects, focused on personalised health. Brainstorming for a title this afternoon was fun! #medhums

📣🚨 Callout for artists, graphic designers and digital creatives

We are looking for a designer who will work collaboratively to develop the look and content of our upcoming Wellcome and University of Leeds funded exhibition.

Another wonderful LivingBodiesObjects day at the Thackray Museum of Medicine! Today we focused on possible avenues to co-production for our exhibition, and broader community engagement plans. Oh, and I saw an amazing armoured rhino illustration #histmed #medhums

Another LivingBodiesObjects day today at Thackray Museum of Medicine. We created responses to historic medical devices, and imagined health objects of the future. So much fun, and all rooted in historic objects and catalogues! #histmed #medhums

Yesterday was LivingBodiesObjects day at the Thackray Museum of Medicine! We started our ideation phase, playing with possible themes for a new temporary exhibition for July. Fascinating discussions and creative activities galore! #histmed

Materials testing in the LivingBodiesObjects lab yesterday. Take data from sleep: heart rate, skin and body temperature etc, convert it into patterned sine waves run through magnets and inscribe it into wax/oil/charcoal tiles. You get to touch sleep. Very cool.

One of the best things about working on LivingBodiesObjects is how we pause and assess where we are as the research develops. In a recent ways-of-working workshop, we returned to discuss our values and update our living glossary. Have a look: livingbodiesobjects.org/project-glossa…
