'After Image' with Zia Álmos Joshua [X]

Behind the Glass Cabinet

In this episode Zia [X] explores audience responses to ‘After Image’ in the Wellcome Collection’s ‘Medicine Now’ gallery. We take the part of Alexa Wrights’ series that is on display at the Wellcome, and explore the implications of displays in medical museums, and are attentive to the relationship of subjects, objects and audiences when creating exhibitions in science museums.

Zia Álmos Joshua [x] is an educator, artist, researcher, and activish. Its practice is informed by dyslexic writing, cross-species thinking, liberationist ethics, queer dancing, and relative poverty in London. As an educator, it is particularly concerned with interdisciplinarity and communication; sharing knowledge between specialists, and making knowledge accessible to non-specialists, broadening and deepening the field of consciousness. Much of its current work is using art, teaching, and philosophy to explore and communicate scientific, particularly biological, ideas.
