Identity Project Synopsis
The forgotten Museum of Sir Henry Wellcome
A collection of intriging objects that presents an anthropologic look into the history of medicine. These exhibits show that people have appealed to a variety of sources when things go wrong.
I am going to create some part of this exhibition based on my own interpretation of reading and visiting the actual exhibition.
I will be making Ex-voto Vessels
