A roundtable discussion between Natasha Ruiz-Gómez, Keren Hammerschlag, Tania Cleaves (née Woloshyn), Rebecca Whiteley and Sonia Favi.
Hosted by Confabulations: art practice, art history, critical medical humanities (http://www.confabulations.org)
Online, Wednesday 5th July, 18.00 to 19.30 BST / 13.00 to 14.30 EDT.
Global Bodies examines closely and collaboratively a range of representations of the human body produced in a variety of national, cultural, political and religious contexts from the eighteenth century through to today. It prioritises critical cross-disciplinary and transnational analyses of different objects and images from a range of geographies that engage with the themes of: typologies of the body; racialised bodies; bodies and identity; encounters between bodies; bodies in transition; bodies and mobility; and the body with and without borders. A global perspective on depictions of the human body produced for the purposes of artistic and medical education, aesthetic edification, and scientific and professional advancement serves as a timely disruption of assumptions about the normative human body (white, male, healthy, etc.) perpetuated through the Western (anatomical) tradition. These three contributions, looking at painting, photography and medical publications, highlight the project’s diversity of approaches in interrogating representations of the human body across the globe.
