Bringing together artists, doctors, historians, scientists and specialists, this forum engages in a cross-disciplinary discussion concerning key issues explored in the exhibition 'The Patient'.

Presented in the EG02 Lecture Theatre. 

—

Presented in conjunction with 'The Patient' at UNSW Galleries.

'The Patient' explores the ways in which artists engage with powerful human experiences in the fields of health, biological science and medicine, contributing to discourse on the representation of illness, disease, care, individual agency and what it is to be human. Artists present new experimental works and ongoing projects across a range of media, connecting to us as viewers (and participants) in ways that are variously difficult, fearless, funny and sometimes unlovely.
