Join us at the Wangensteen Historical Library on Thursday, October 24th from 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. to celebrate the opening of Artist-in-Residence Professor Jenny Schmid’s exhibition: Disembodied/Reembodied: The Gaze and Dysphoria of Medical Images of Women’s Bodies, which addresses medical depictions of women’s bodies in the library collection. During the event, Schmid will demonstrate the printing process and will present on the project with collaborators. The opening will also feature take-home zines and interactive online content.

This project is funded by the inaugural 2024 Research and Innovation Office (RIO) Artist-in-Residence Award that supports art and science collaboration. Disembodied/Reembodied is a collaboration between a bioethicist, an artist-printmaker, and two curators to question and reimagine the power of images that have greatly impacted female reproductive healthcare.
