Disembodied Reembodied, a new exhibit at the Wangensteen Historical Library, addresses medical depictions of women’s bodies in the library collection and will also feature take-home zines and interactive online content. Disembodied/Reembodied is a collaborative project between artist-in-residence Jenny Schmid, Wangensteen Historical Library of Biology & Medicine curators Emily Beck and Lois Hendrickson, and Clinical Ethics Assistant Professor Jaime Konerman-Sease. The exhibit will be available to view at the Wangensteen Historical Library, 2-340 Phillips-Wangensteen Building (PWB) second floor concourse, from October 24, 2024 – February 28, 2025.

This project is funded by the inaugural 2024 RIO artist in residence grant supporting art and science collaboration.

Exhibit Evening: Thursday, November 14 from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. Jenny and collaborators will be circulating for the entire event to discuss Jenny’s prints, the historical texts from which we drew inspiration, and our collaborative process. 

This event will take place at the Wangensteen Historical Library of Biology & Medicine at the University of Minnesota: Wangensteen Library Classroom, 2-330 Phillips-Wangensteen Building (PWB), 516 Delaware Street SE, Minneapolis, MN 55455.
