WAITING ROOM - WOMEN HEALERS AND PATIENTS ON THE PERIPHERY OF MEDICINE
Our project takes the collection of the Semmelweis Medical History Museum (SOM) as its starting point and focuses on a specific scientific topic, namely the presence of women (doctors, health visitors, healers, midwives) in the history of medicine and the different roles attached to the female body. We analyze the contradictory relationship between unofficial and institutional medical treatments as well as the “female'' roles attached to certain medical practices and to the notions of health politics and reproductive rights.
We invited artists to reflect on the permanent collection of SOM and use it as a starting point for a broader reflection on the role and situation of women in medicine. Besides these artistic interventions in the collection of SOM, our series of events, to take place between March and June 2020, will also include lectures, screenings, and talks, organized in cooperation with experts from the field of social sciences and medicine.
