Hi All
The following exhibition may be of interest to some of you. It is something that I (Julie) have been working on with colleagues at Sheffield. Please do share with others if you think they might be interested.
Apologies for any cross-posting.

Remembering Baby: Life, Loss and Post-mortem is a new exhibition that challenges taboos surrounding early-life loss. Inspired by the ‘End of’ or ‘Start of’ Life?’ research project funded by the ESRC, it explores how visual technologies used in hospitals such as MRI, are starting to be applied to certain areas of post-mortem practice – including pregnancy loss and neonatal death. The exhibition and associated workshops will be on in London and Sheffield in November and December 2017 and admission is free (see website below for dates and details).
An interdisciplinary research team at the University of Sheffield (led by Dr Kate Reed) has worked in collaboration with the British Institute of Radiology artist in residence, Hugh Turvey and sound artist Justin Wiggan, to design and create the exhibition. Thinking about clinical processes in the broader context of life, loss and memorialisation, the project examines professional and parental encounters with death at the very beginning of life. The exhibition seeks to make these encounters more visible and features a collection of work exploring early-life loss. Visual images, physical objects and sound installations will sensitively explore what happens when a baby dies, from both parental and professional perspectives.
