Artists’ Books and the Medical Humanities consisted of a symposium, exhibition and workshops. The symposium explored connections between artists’ books, health, illness and medicine from interdisciplinary perspectives. You can read some of the speakers’ presentations from the catalogue preview. The day also included a poetry reading by Clare Best and a screening of the documentary I Make Books.
