Dear colleague,

We are writing to invite you to the opening nights of an art exhibition about early-life loss and post-mortem. Remembering Baby: Life, Loss and Post-Mortem is a free, public exhibition inspired by an ESRC funded research project lead by a team of Dr Kate Reed, Dr Elspeth Whitby and Dr Julie Ellis at the University of Sheffield.

The exhibition is a collaboration with x-ray artist in residence at the British Institute of Radiology, Hugh Turvey, and Life Echo sound artist Justin Wiggan. It features visual images, physical objects and sound installations which sensitively explore what happens when a baby dies, from both parental and professional perspectives.

We would be delighted if you could join us for one of the opening nights, either in Sheffield or London, where there will be the opportunity to see the exhibition, listen to short talks from the research team, artists and special guests discussing the relevance of the exhibition for their own professional work. There will also be refreshments and the chance to network with others.
